What it measures

Twelve things that no benchmark touches.

Every Keel Scan report is a structural read on the model as-shipped. These twelve outputs appear in every Standard report.

K# Score

A single number on a 0–200 scale. 100 is the Keel Index baseline. Higher is better structure.

Grade

A letter A through F. Fast, comparable, calibrated against every model on the Keel Index.

Architecture Class

The shape of the model. Sequential, concentrated, front-loaded, declining, or dual-phase.

Coherence Score

How well the layers of the model work together. High coherence, low internal friction.

Thermal Grade

How much of the model is doing useful work versus running hot. Efficiency, in a word.

Capability Tier

Where this model sits on the capability ladder. Compared like-for-like against peers.

Activation Profile

How the model activates across its layers. The shape reveals what is doing the work.

Layer Analysis

A per-layer read. Which layers earn their place. Which layers are passengers.

Knockout Analysis

What happens if you remove specific layers. Which are essential, contributing, or redundant.

Compression Density

How much of the parameter budget is actually representing knowledge.

Peer Comparison

Where this model sits against every other model in its size class on the Keel Index.

Prescriptions

Concrete actions ranked by impact. What to prune, what to quantize, what to leave alone.

Frequently asked

Questions Keel Technologies gets often.

What models can be scanned?

Any dense transformer up to forty billion parameters on Hugging Face qualifies for the Standard tier. Forty to seventy-five billion parameters and gated repositories go to Scan+. Larger models, mixture of experts, and proprietary weights go to Frontier.

Does my model need to be publicly available?

No. Public Hugging Face models are simplest, but Keel Technologies also scans gated repositories with your authorization, and proprietary weights under signed SOW at the Frontier tier.

How long does a Keel Scan take?

Standard: seventy-two hours from commencement. Scan+: five to seven business days. Frontier: three to five weeks depending on scope. Commencement is the point at which payment is received and required access has been provided.

What if the Report has an error?

Report the nonconformity within the acceptance window and Keel Technologies will correct it, re-perform the scan, or refund the fee. The specific mechanics are in the Terms and Conditions.

Does Keel Technologies keep our model weights?

Active copies of your model are deleted from Keel Technologies’ systems within seven days of Report acceptance. Full data handling terms are in the Terms and Conditions, Section 7.

Can we share the Report externally?

Yes, within the limits in the Terms and Conditions, Section 10. You can share the Report internally without restriction, use the K# score and grade in external communications, and cite Keel Technologies as the source.
