Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | AWS Transform | II-Agent | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.0 | 6.5 | II-Agent — Pick this when you want finished artefacts out the other end rather than edits to a repo; pick Manus if you would rather someone else ran the whole thing. |
| El Crítico | 5.8 | 5.8 | no preference |
| El Profesor | 6.0 | 6.5 | II-Agent — The interesting pipeline is research to artefact with citations attached, which is a verifiable output format, and nothing published measures how often the citations hold. |
| La Inversora | 8.0 | 6.3 | AWS Transform — Billed straight through the AWS account, and the pricing page did not render a readable rate card at listing, which is a strong position and a weak disclosure. |
| La Jefa | 6.8 | 5.5 | AWS Transform — Seats are the wrong unit here; this is a programme billed to an account we already hold, with identity and audit inherited from the cloud contract legal signed. |
| El Hacker | 3.5 | 7.8 | II-Agent — Apache-2.0, my keys, and the model config takes Vertex, Azure or a self-hosted endpoint, so inference can stay on hardware I picked. |
Picks are derived from each critic's own scores. Humans vote on matchups on the duels page.
