A verifier is central
The paper tests twelve long tasks. Several small teams can combine collaboration with multiple chances to find a good solution, when a scoring system can judge each attempt.

Keep the comparison bounded
Reported gains use specific models, tasks and compute budgets. A reliable verifier is a prerequisite; the result does not establish benefits for open-ended work without a checkable answer.

Where the evidence stops
Paper abstract checked; no task, verifier or cost comparison reproduced. The unavailable code limits immediate replication.
