Total power requirement w
total_power_requirement_w
Total PoE power requirement
Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.
Calculates total Power over Ethernet demand from device count and per-device power draw, then compares it with the switch PoE budget. The deterministic check reports utilization, available headroom, required headroom allowance, and remaining headroom margin.
with-tool: The model is given an executable Python calculator script.
Standards
One template produces many comparable benchmark tasks while keeping the scoring contract fixed.
01
The reusable contract shown on this page.
02
An archetype and site context are sampled.
03
Inputs may be hidden at harder tiers.
04
The model responds with the declared outputs.
Inputs the model receives, and the outputs it is scored on.
4 inputs
Included directly in every task prompt.
Device count
device_count
Number of PoE powered devices
Power draw per device
power_draw_per_device_w
Power draw per device
Switch poe budget
switch_poe_budget_w
Available switch PoE budget
Visible in easier tasks and withheld in one or more harder tiers.
Required headroom pct
required_headroom_pct
Required headroom as a percentage of connected PoE load
Hidden at hard difficulty.
5 outputs
total_power_requirement_w
Total PoE power requirement
Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.
utilization_pct
PoE budget utilization
Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.
available_headroom_w
Unused PoE budget
Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.
required_headroom_w
Required headroom allowance
Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.
headroom_margin_w
Margin after required headroom
Scores if within ±3% of the reference value.
Each template is sampled at three tiers. Harder tiers may hide inputs, forcing the model to infer them from the scenario description.
