Figures as reported by VA, July 2026. These are not VBB results.
These are the measures a bounded pilot is designed to prove. They are not filled with invented company numbers.
Evidence First-Pass Yield™
Pilot KPI
Share of packages that can progress without avoidable evidence-development rework.
Gaps named pre-submission
Pilot KPI
Missing, disconnected, or uncorrelated evidence identified before the file becomes workload.
Human override rate
Governance KPI
How often an authorized human rejects or revises an assisted output.
Traceability
Pilot KPI
Whether an output can be followed to source evidence without a black box.
Figures marked as VA-reported or as planning models are not VetBattleBuddy operating results. Pilot outcomes are published only when independently defensible.
Reserved until a bounded evaluation can be independently defended.
Reserved
Government pilot
Named measures, bounded scope, human override. Results appear here only when they can be independently defended.
No invented outcome. Slot fills when a bounded evaluation can be defended.
Reserved
VSO network
How many files arrive with named gaps versus another round of development. Not a rating predictor.
No invented outcome. Slot fills when a bounded evaluation can be defended.

Veteran cohort
Heat Map completion to accredited-representative handoff. Not a VA decision and not a disability percentage.
No invented outcome. Slot fills when a bounded evaluation can be defended.

Replace these bands with pilot measurements when a bounded evaluation is complete. Values are planning placeholders so operators can see the board shape. They are not Evidence First-Pass Yield operating results.
