// BENCHMARK METHODOLOGY SPECIFICATION

All engine scores are generated by automated telemetry harness runs. Gaming Score measures Vulkan/DirectX translation efficiency, sustained 60/120 FPS frame pacing, and input latency under heavy 3D loads. Stability Index quantifies crash resistance, memory leak mitigation, VM sleep/wake recovery, and multi-instance resource overhead on Linux platforms.
