  "notes": "Giles 1910 translation. The treatise is unusually clean for benchmarking: short, structured, with explicit enumerated lists that map well to ACO leverage typology. Sun Tzu is also where contemporary AI/policy circles most over-cite — the benchmark tests whether a system can produce the typed structure or only the aphorism."
