Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] Leaderboard page describes an LLM-judged creative writing benchmark ('Creative Writing v3') alongside other EQ-Bench boards. · locator: page text · source: https://eqbench.com/creative_writing.html
- [upstream_claim] Repository README: hybrid rubric and Elo scoring, and it is the system behind the leaderboard. · locator: repository README / metadata · source: https://github.com/EQ-bench/creative-writing-bench
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
