- In short
- Choosing code execution over prose generation for a numeric result is both a verification technique and a format decision: it determines what kind of output the reader receives. A prose-generated number is a fluent estimate of an uncomputed calculation; a code-executed number is the actual re-runnable result of a computation over the real data, and can also return supporting artifacts such as charts. When a number must be trustworthy, the format choice is code execution.
