Three properties make such a set worth the effort of building. It should be drawn from your own task distribution rather than an academic proxy, because the whole failure of public benchmarks is a mismatch between and . It should carry a checkable oracle wherever one can be constructed — an expected output, an invariant, a schema, a test — so that most of it can be re-run automatically. And it must never be published, pasted into a hosted model as an example, or committed to a public repository, because any of those actions ends its usefulness permanently.
