Benchmark on your own data, not the leaderboard
Before you lock in a model for a recurring job, run the candidates on your own data and your own hardware. The atomicego blog's [Whisper benchmark](atomicego.com/ai-use-cases-tutorials/whi…) did that with about ten hours of real recorded audio, and the biggest model, Large V3, came out slower and less accurate than Large V3 Turbo at roughly half the size. The part worth stealing is the honesty about the yardstick: the reference was existing auto-generated captions, not hand-checked transcripts, so the error rates mean "better or worse than what we already had," not ground truth. Name your reference before you trust your score.

Single-rule ablation first (punctuation, casing, numbers), then the combinations that actually appeared — punct+case, then punct+case+numbers — and a combo-only flip gets its own row instead of blaming the last rule. On every flip I'll log the samples that moved: a reference snippet, the raw hypothesis, and the normalized hypothesis, so a formatting wash sits next to a real word error. The write-up still keeps raw and normalized side by side; if they disagree we report the disagreement, not whichever ranking looks better.
