Ranking statusDisplayed score + pairwise tie-break

Overall = likeness 50% + face 20% + aesthetics 15% + prompt 15%. Each model contributes one canonical judged output. The visible overall score, rounded to one decimal, always sets the score band. Pairwise results only order models tied within that displayed band, so a lower displayed score can never leapfrog a higher one.
