OCB consists of two tracks\. File Fidelity Q&A tests structural and visual perception of office artifacts \- tables, charts, embedded images, formulas, and app\-specific elements such as headers, speaker notes, and named ranges\. Domain Q&A tests expert\-level reasoning grounded in real\-world industry documents across 12 professional domains, with queries requiring multi\-step analysis and synthesis across documents\. Each reference answer is decomposed into atomic, binary\-gradable claims, and an ensemble of LLM judges scores responses against each claim independently\. Even the strongest frontier system in its default reasoning mode reaches only about 59\.3% on Domain Q&A; increasing thinking depth within a tier does not move performance materially, while moving to a higher product tier yields modest gains\. We release the dataset, evaluation tooling, judge prompt, and a public leaderboard\. ## Submission history From: Firoz Shaik \[[view email](https://arxiv.org/show-email/1b6987ba/2607.01245)\] **\[v1\]**Fri, 29 May 2026 03:19:32 UTC \(1,503 KB\)
