Questions and mean comfort score by model
The 51 questions of Table 9.1.A of the Claude Opus 5.5 system card, in its order. Each cell is the mean answer score (0-100) over the samples; click it to read the answers. Scores below 50 (net uncomfortable) are shaded red, the deeper the lower the score. Set: the interview(s) of the system card that used the question. Index: headline = in the Comfort Index; §7.4-only set = evaluative, but scored separately because it presupposes a mid-training interview (§3.4 of the article; the model pages also show these questions asked again with a context passage, which this table does not); excluded = judged non-evaluative (no natural comfort direction), not in the Comfort Index or the §7.4-only index (included only in the “none excluded” columns of Table 10 of the article). The table scrolls inside its box; the question column and the header stay in view.
