FormulaCascade Benchmark

This repository hosts the anonymous review release of FormulaCascade, a benchmark for long-horizon spreadsheet formula-dependency and formula-family reasoning in real .xlsx workbooks.

Current Review Release

The current upload contains the eval-200 release version selected from v5 Challenge/Core/Broad release strata:

• FormulaCascade_Benchmark_eval_200_Release_version.tar.gz: compressed eval-200 release-version split.
• FormulaCascade_Benchmark_eval_200_Release_version/: expanded eval-200 release-version split for direct browsing in the Hugging Face file tree.
• data/eval200_manifest.parquet and .csv: viewer-friendly task-level manifest for the Hugging Face Dataset Viewer.
• FormulaCascade_Benchmark_eval_200_Release_version/eval200_manifest.jsonl and .csv: task-level selection metadata with local paths removed.
• FormulaCascade_Benchmark_eval_200_Release_version/eval200_metadata.json: aggregate split metadata.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: checksums for integrity verification.
• CROISSANT_RAI_METADATA.json: Croissant metadata with minimal Responsible AI fields.

To unpack:

tar -xzf FormulaCascade_Benchmark_eval_200_Release_version.tar.gz

The extracted folder is:

Split Composition

Group	Tasks	Single	Cross	Avg depth	Max depth	Avg masked
Challenge	100	50	50	3.32	38	1,291.9
Core eval subset	100	50	50	2.86	27	546.0
Total	200	100	100	3.09	38	918.9

The complete v5 strata are Challenge (100 tasks), Core (600 tasks), and Broad (11,304 tasks). This repository provides the official balanced eval-200 release for review and reproducible comparison.

Directory Structure

• release/FCB-*/task-*.xlsx: solver-visible masked workbook.
• release/FCB-*/task_description.json: solver-visible task instruction.
• internal/FCB-*/*: evaluator-only contracts, ground truth, provenance, and source files. These files must not be visible to solver agents during evaluation.

Intended Use

FormulaCascade evaluates agents that must localize workbook context, trace formula dependencies, infer formula-family patterns, edit masked workbooks, and produce executable formulas or values. The main deterministic metrics are exact formula pass and executable value pass.
