 question-specific answer types. `usage.input_tokens` counts model resources;
 optional `usage.billable_input_tokens` is Zils's logical billing count.
 
+## Rank a short list
+
+Version 0.2.0 adds experimental `client.rank`. Install with `npm install @zils/sdk`:
+
+```ts
+import { ZilsClient } from '@zils/sdk';
+
+const client = new ZilsClient();
+const items = ['Update the logo', 'Checkout is failing', 'Fix a typo'];
+const result = await client.rank({ items, instructions: 'Most urgent customer impact first' });
+for (const entry of result.ranking) {
+  console.log(items[entry.index], entry.score);
+}
+console.log(result.comparisons, result.usage.billable_input_tokens);
+```
+
+Accepts 2–10 JSON items. By default, one existing decision API request compares every pair in
+both orders: `n * (n - 1)` model judgments, up to 90. It fits Bradley–Terry strengths
+locally and returns original indices, relative scores, the actual model, and
+unmodified usage. A score of 1 means strongest in this set, not certainty or
+absolute quality. Equal scores retain input order. This is an SDK helper, not a
+new model or HTTP endpoint. Existing context, timeout, billing, and retry rules
+apply; one HTTP request does not mean one model evaluation. See the
+[ranking contract](https://github.com/ooo-hq/zils-sdk/blob/main/docs/developer-tools.md#ranking)
+for numerical limits, failure behavior, and examples.
+
+**New in 0.3.0:** add `groupSize: 4` to the rank request to compare
+overlapping groups instead. Group sizes must be integers from 2 to 10 and are
+capped to the list length. This sends `n` Choice judgments, fits relative Luce
+strengths across groups, and preserves the result shape and 10-item limit.
+Ten items use 10 judgments instead of 90. Each item appears in every group
+position once; fewer comparisons can lose accuracy, and savings depend on actual
+token usage. Pairwise ranking remains the default.
+
+Evaluate ranking on your own task before relying on the order. Use ordinary code
+for arithmetic, unit conversion, and purely numeric sorting; the model can make
+incorrect comparisons, and fitting strengths does not correct that evidence.
