# Gloss

**Gloss — Generative Layout & OOXML Scoring System** is an open tool for testing
whether a generated PowerPoint is a real, editable artifact—not merely a convincing
screenshot.
**Gloss — Generative Layout & OOXML Scoring System** is an open, deliberately
difficult PowerPoint deck that AI struggles to render and build as a real, editable
artifact. Its accompanying measurement tools make the failure modes easy to inspect,

**Gloss** is the tool and public project. It owns the scoring model, evidence
surface, comparative results, hosted verification direction, and collaboration

**Gloss** is the public challenge deck and collaboration project. Its companion
measurement tools make failure modes, evidence, and comparative results easy to
inspect and reproduce.

**Gloss v1 is the first ACID-style PowerPoint conformance suite bundled with
Gloss.** It supplies the current prompt corpus, hostile deck cases, assertions, gold
fixture, mutation tests, and protocol adapter:
