Place counts only apps with a value; lower is better except passed tests. ADEMark publishes no overall score and treats close medians as ties, so read places as an order, not a verdict. The Bare CLI is Claude Code in a terminal, run as an unranked control. Method and every test on ademark.dev · Imported data · How we use it
