Description

Would appreciate if the docs explain how the score of an eval is calculated when trialCount > 1.

I tested it myself and it averages the score from all runs, which for me is the expected behavior.

Research direction

Start by locating the documentation that describes eval score calculation and review the issue's stated behavior for trialCount greater than 1. Update the relevant explanation so it clearly states how scores from multiple runs are combined; done when the documented behavior matches the observed averaging.
