5 of 7 budgets within policy.
Below the max_overall_regression_rate of 30%. Effect size -0.53, confidence likely at n = 16.

Do not migrate globally under the configured policy.
1 tool_selection.conformance rows are excluded from the equivalence and regression rates: both models missed the recorded ground truth by the same margin, so their zero delta is a shared failure rather than evidence the migration is safe. Ground truth the source model itself fails usually means the suite was captured against a different toolset, prompt or agent.
13 tool_arguments rows were scored against ground truth promoted from the source model's own recorded calls: the source scores 1.0 by construction, so this gate measures target deviation from source, not correctness. Set provenance: reviewed on a golden row once its arguments have been checked by hand.

Every figure below is copied from the statistics above, not generated.
The migration is a FAIL. 5 of 7 budgets passed. The target breached max_tool_divergence with a tool_divergence_pct of 25.0% against the 10% ceiling, and its equivalence_rate_pct of 61.4% fell below the 75% min_equivalence_rate.
The regression_rate_pct is 13.6%. The target model exhibits a failure_category.SEMANTIC_REGRESSION of 7 and a failure_category.TOOL_SELECTION_DRIFT of 5.
The target model provides a cost_delta_pct of −58.8% and a latency_delta_pct of −75.2% compared to the source model.
Recommendation. Do not migrate to gemini/gemini-3.5-flash-lite. The cost_delta_pct of −58.8% does not cover a tool_divergence_pct of 25.0%: fix the failure_category.TOOL_SELECTION_DRIFT (5) and failure_category.SEMANTIC_REGRESSION (7) cases before re-evaluating.

Latency stats cover live calls only (16 source / 16 target); cache hits replay from disk.
Each number is target minus source for one example. Scores are on a 0–1 scale, so −0.14 means the target scored 0.14 lower than the source on its worst-hit evaluator. Negative = target worse.
