2026-06-12 - Self-audit first

121 self-audit gap - not yet measured

What changed: Added 121 to the pilot index and published first-run provisional self-audit rows for Eleanor, Quill, Companion, and Switchboard.

Why: The audit convergence required 121 to grade its own products under the same rubric before vendor scores matter.

Who made the change: Cowork-CC dispatch / G Geometry audit / Codex implementation

Score impact: Switchboard received provisional observed labels; Eleanor, Quill, and Companion remain N/A or TBD.
