When Multiple Choices Are Correct: Asymmetric Probability Allocation in Jev and Other Decision Models

Rushab Munot

Decision models return normalized probability distributions over candidate choices, which downstream applications can use to select among choices. Although their providers emphasize the reliability of these probabilities, calibration on tasks with a single correct choice does not establish their reliability when multiple choices are correct. We evaluate three decision models (Jev, Liquid d1, and GPT-6 Luna Decisions) on three diverse datasets (MetaTool, HotpotQA, and ECtHR) to study probability allocation and thresholding. Even when models rank every correct choice above every distractor, in 28% to 50% of those lists, at least one correct choice receives a probability below the uniform probability of 1/n, where n is the number of choices. We also present each model with five identical copies of a correct choice and observe probability disparities, with mean gaps ranging from 17 to 79 percentage points. We further show how these allocation disparities affect the recovery of multiple correct choices under probability thresholding. Decision-model probabilities can rank correct choices, but a probability threshold does not identify the set of correct choices.
