## Summary
Introduces DV-World, a 260-task benchmark for data-visualization agents across spreadsheet manipulation, reference-artifact adaptation, and proactive intent alignment. Using table-value alignment and MLLM-as-a-Judge evaluation, it finds that state-of-the-art models achieve under 50% overall performance.

## Key Takeaways
- Covers the real-world lifecycle of data visualization rather than sandboxed creation only.
- Splits evaluation across DV-Sheet, DV-Evolution, and DV-Interact.
- Reveals substantial gaps in current agent performance.

## Context
The benchmark addresses shortcomings in existing DV evaluations such as sandbox confinement and perfect-intent assumptions.

## Implications
DV-World should help steer agent development toward enterprise-style visualization workflows.
