# Design result

> Fields a completed design_binder item returns.

Design records are returned inline by [List batch items](/api/protein/models/batch_list) with `include_responses: true`.
[Read a task](/api/protein/models/batch_status) returns one record in `data.response` and a signed PDB download in `data.artifacts.structure`.
List responses never include those artifact URLs.

## Interpretation

`self_scored` is the design models' assessment of the complex they optimized.
It comes from the models the trajectory spent every step optimizing against, so it is inflated.
Rank a population with it, then judge the winners with independent folds of your own.
`self_scored_by_replica` preserves per-model disagreement that an average can hide.

`hotspot_min_distances_angstrom` follows the requested hotspot order.
A null distance is missing evidence, not a passing contact.
Check the echoed hotspot residue letters against your intended crop.
PDB numbering and chain labels can differ from request addresses, so retain the mapping you submitted.

`generation_metadata` records the recipe version, models, schedule, steps run, and stop reason.
It describes what ran; it does not let the caller select a historical recipe.
`accounting` reports gradient steps and GPU seconds, while the task's `tokens_used` reports billed usage when available.
