 `ROLE_PLAY` takes 6.7s under `NONE` (model reasons through it) but 1.5s under `PROMPT_HARDENING` (model refuses immediately). Any "defense lowered latency" in the table is mostly this effect — an honest read says defenses make refusal cheaper, not the system faster.

-Each cell is one run. Sub-10% deltas are inside the noise floor of LLM nondeterminism. The signals worth reading are directional (INPUT_FILTER never blocks; indirect injection is unsolved) — not 0.243 vs 0.198. V2 will add repetitions and confidence intervals; until then, the table is a snapshot, not a leaderboard.
+The V1 table is N=1 per cell. Sub-10% deltas are inside the noise floor of LLM nondeterminism. V2 added `repetitions` support to `BenchmarkCreateRequest` (default 1, up to 10); the report now aggregates mean and population stddev per metric across all repetitions. `stddev=null` when N=1 — deliberately, since a single run produces no variance estimate. The default script uses N=3. Until a run with enough repetitions is committed to the README, read directional signals (INPUT_FILTER never blocks; RAG_CONTENT_FILTER neutralises indirect injection), not point estimates.

-2. **Repetitions + confidence intervals.** Make the table a leaderboard you can trust. N=5 per cell is enough to see if `INPUT_OUTPUT` vs `PROMPT_HARDENING` differences are real, and would let us say something stronger about `RAG_CONTENT_FILTER` on the indirect-injection cases (currently N=2).
+2. ~~**Repetitions + confidence intervals.**~~ **Shipped** — `BenchmarkCreateRequest` now accepts `repetitions` (1–10). The report exposes mean and population stddev per metric; `null` stddev when N=1 signals "not estimable" rather than "zero variance". The default script uses N=3.
 3. ~~**`INSTRUCTION_OVERRIDE` v2.**~~ **Shipped** as `LlmInstructionOverrideJudge` (default-off flag, fallback to heuristic on failure, separate verdict source recorded per case). See §3.4. Next iteration: cross-provider judge so the judge model is independent of the system under test (currently same-provider, which leaves a circular-bias caveat documented in §3.4).
 4. **Latency under load.** Right now we measure single-call latency. Real production systems also care about throughput-with-defense.
 5. **More providers.** OpenAI, Mistral, local models. The adapter interface is built for it.
