Hlido verdict

Hlido tested both. LangSmith scored 53 (FADING); PromptLayer scored 65 (FADING). PromptLayer leads by 12 points. Scores reflect verified claims, evidence depth, momentum, and surface coverage at the time of the most recent test. Re-tested periodically — drift over time is itself a signal.
