A method for evaluating a verification model includes receiving a first and a second set of verification results where each verification result indicates whether a primary model or an alternative model verifies an identity of a user as a registered user. The method further includes identifying each verification result in the first and second sets that includes a performance metric. The method also includes determining a first score of the primary model based on a number of the verification results identified in the first set that includes the performance metric and determining a second score of the alternative model based on a number of the verification results identified in the second set that includes the performance metric. The method further includes determining whether a verification capability of the alternative model is better than a verification capability of the primary model based on the first score and the second score.
