Description GLAFIC GLEE LENSTOOL ZITRIN-ANALYTIC MrMARTIAN WSLAP+
Category of mass models
• Parametric mass distribution
• Free-form mass distribution

Observables that can be used as input to constrain the mass-model parameters
• Lensed image positions [baseline]
• Fluxes at lensed image positions
• Surface brightness of lensed images
• Time delays

Uncertainties on image positions
• Circular positional uncertainties [baseline]
• Elliptical positional uncertainties

Lens planes
• Single-lens planes [baseline]
• Multi-lens planes

Notes. The first column describes the possible input, setup, and capabilities of the software, while the remaining columns list the six independent software packages employed in this work. The tilde (∼) denotes the implemented capabilities that have not yet been extensively tested. All software can use lensed image positions with circular uncertainties as observables to constrain lens mass distributions on a single lens plane. This setup, as indicated by “[baseline]” in the corresponding rows, forms the basis for constructing the baseline models that enable direct comparison of software and models from the different modeling teams.
