+
+### Configurable Thresholds
+
+By default, thresholds auto-calibrate from scorer type metadata embedded in eval results: **0** for deterministic scorers, **0.05** for LLM scorers (which have natural variance). Results without `scorerTypes` metadata fall back to **0.1**.
+
+Override with `--threshold` on the CLI:
+
+```bash
+# Global threshold for all scorers
+npx axl-eval compare v1.json v2.json --threshold 0.05
+
+# Per-scorer thresholds
+npx axl-eval compare v1.json v2.json --threshold accuracy=0,tone=0.1
+```
+
+Programmatically via `EvalCompareOptions`:
+
+```typescript
+import { evalCompare } from '@axlsdk/eval';
+import type { EvalCompareOptions } from '@axlsdk/eval';
+
+// Global threshold
+evalCompare(baseline, candidate, { thresholds: 0.05 });
+
+// Per-scorer map
+evalCompare(baseline, candidate, { thresholds: { accuracy: 0, tone: 0.1 } });
+```
+
+### Statistical Significance
+
+`evalCompare()` computes a 95% bootstrap confidence interval on paired per-item score differences. A scorer change is marked `significant` when:
+
+1. The CI excludes zero (the effect is unlikely due to chance), **and**
+2. The absolute delta exceeds the threshold (the effect is practically meaningful).
+
+`--fail-on-regression` uses significance when available — it only exits with code 1 if at least one scorer has a significant negative delta. Without enough paired data for CI (fewer than 2 items), it falls back to threshold-only comparison.
+
+The underlying `pairedBootstrapCI()` function is exported for direct use:
+
+```typescript
+import { pairedBootstrapCI } from '@axlsdk/eval';
+
+const ci = pairedBootstrapCI(differences, { nResamples: 1000, alpha: 0.05, seed: 42 });
+console.log(ci); // { lower: -0.02, upper: 0.15, mean: 0.065, pRegression: 0.12, pImprovement: 0.88 }
+```

 ```
 
+## Rescore Mode
+
+Re-run scorers on saved outputs without re-executing the workflow. Useful when iterating on scorer logic — avoids burning LLM cost on generation.
+
+```bash
+npx axl-eval rescore ./results/v1.json ./evals/qa.eval.ts
+npx axl-eval rescore ./results/v1.json ./evals/qa.eval.ts --output ./results/v1-rescored.json
+```
+
+The rescored result gets a new `id` and has `metadata.rescored: true` and `metadata.originalId` pointing to the source run. `runGroupId` and `runIndex` are stripped from inherited metadata (rescored results are independent evaluations). Only scorer cost is tracked (workflow cost is zero).
+
+Programmatically:
+
+```typescript
+import { rescore } from '@axlsdk/eval';
+
+const rescored = await rescore(originalResult, [updatedScorer, newScorer], runtime, {
+  concurrency: 10,
+});
+
+console.log(rescored.metadata.rescored);    // true
+console.log(rescored.metadata.originalId);  // original result ID
+console.log(rescored.totalCost);            // scorer cost only
+```
+
+## Multi-Run
+
+Run the same eval multiple times to measure variance across runs. The CLI aggregates per-scorer means into mean ± std:
+
+```bash
+npx axl-eval ./evals/qa.eval.ts --runs 5
+npx axl-eval ./evals/qa.eval.ts --runs 5 --output ./results/qa-5runs.json
+```
+
+```
+Eval: qa-eval x qa-basics — 5 runs
+  Scorer         Mean ± Std       Min       Max
+  ──────────────────────────────────────────────
+  not-empty     1.000 ± 0.000     1.000     1.000
+  relevance     0.870 ± 0.024     0.840     0.900
+
+  Total Cost: $0.05 | Total Duration: 16.2s
+```
+
+The output JSON contains all individual run results (as an array). Each run has `metadata.runGroupId` and `metadata.runIndex`.
+
+Programmatically, use `aggregateRuns()`:
+
+```typescript
+import { aggregateRuns } from '@axlsdk/eval';
+import type { MultiRunSummary } from '@axlsdk/eval';
+
+const summary: MultiRunSummary = aggregateRuns(runs);
+console.log(summary.scorers.relevance.mean);  // 0.87
+console.log(summary.scorers.relevance.std);   // 0.024
+console.log(summary.runCount);                // 5
+```
+
+### Multi-run comparison
+
+`evalCompare()` accepts arrays of `EvalResult` for both baseline and candidate, pooling paired differences across runs for more robust CI estimates:
+
+```typescript
+import { evalCompare } from '@axlsdk/eval';
+
+const comparison = evalCompare(baselineRuns, candidateRuns);
+// CI is computed from all paired (baseline[r].items[i], candidate[r].items[i]) differences
+```
