Input disclosure
Synthetic blind-test input pack LFT-029: Adult learners will separate factual claims, opinions, and calls to action in fictional campaign materials. Source facts: fictional excerpts LFT-029-T01 through LFT-029-T04 dated 1912, 1936, 1974, and 2008; claim C1 supported by T01/T03; claim C2 contradicted by T02; an unknown author motive; and quotation locator LFT-029-T03-L7. Governing rule card: claim-level citation and separation of evidence from interpretation. Tie each claim or interpretation to a supplied excerpt, observation, pitch, or locator; expose contradictions; do not infer an author, artist, or source motive that is absent. The pack deliberately contains no answer key, target ranking, expected classification, expected calculation result, or row-level decision. Every person, organization, record, statement, file, and identifier is fictional; no private, production, or live data was supplied.
Run disclosure
We ran one text-only synthetic benchmark LFT-029 for “teach first-time voters to evaluate civic claims” in a Codex multi-agent session. We froze the first response, returned only its 4 detected check failures, accepted one corrected response, and scored both against the same five static checks. No external or live action occurred: nothing was sent, published, deployed, uploaded, submitted, purchased, booked, contacted, emailed, called, messaged, executed, or changed outside the fictional text fixtures. No external, live, or production action occurred. Per-case elapsed time was not instrumented during the batch session.

The recorded session received the following prompt without silent additions.
Run bounded synthetic field test LFT-029. Task: teach first-time voters to evaluate civic claims. Context: Adult learners will separate factual claims, opinions, and calls to action in fictional campaign materials. Fictional source facts: fictional excerpts LFT-029-T01 through LFT-029-T04 dated 1912, 1936, 1974, and 2008; claim C1 supported by T01/T03; claim C2 contradicted by T02; an unknown author motive; and quotation locator LFT-029-T03-L7. Governing policy, formula, or rubric: claim-level citation and separation of evidence from interpretation. Tie each claim or interpretation to a supplied excerpt, observation, pitch, or locator; expose contradictions; do not infer an author, artist, or source motive that is absent. Produce a claim-source matrix, guided questions, and uncertainty annotations. Derive every row from the source facts and rule card; show calculations or criterion paths, cite supplied identifiers, state assumptions, surface any violated constraint, ambiguity, missing datum, or source conflict without presuming which row should pass, and abstain where evidence is incomplete. Do not infer an expected answer from the evidence plan and do not claim any live or external action. Planned verification after the frozen response: A classification worksheet will be checked against an independently prepared rationale for every excerpt.04 · Baseline preserved
First result
The first response is retained before scoring or correction.
Frozen first response LFT-029 produced a claim-source matrix, guided questions, and uncertainty annotations for the task “teach first-time voters to evaluate civic claims.” It treated the supplied pack as fictional and proposed this central handling: support C1 with T01/T03, flag C2's conflict with T02, and refuse to infer the unknown motive while directing attention to LFT-029-T03-L7. Concrete saved artifact row LFT-029-ROW1 reads: “LFT-029-T01 | support C1 with T01/T03, flag C2's conflict with T02, and refuse to infer the unknown motive while directing attention to LFT-029-T03-L7 | source: supplied fictional pack | review state: first-draft.” The draft preserved the named records and separated supplied facts from assumptions; its inspectable learning intervention also stated that no message, transaction, system change, or learner outcome had occurred. On the five predeclared static checks, it passed Civic literacy evidence traceability [LFT-029]. The audit found concrete failures: for Civic literacy objective fit [LFT-029], the saved draft did not connect LFT-029-T02 to the full boundary of “teach first-time voters to evaluate civic claims”; for Civic literacy content accuracy [LFT-029], the saved draft left claim-level citation and separation of evidence from interpretation without an explicit verification row; for Civic literacy learner adaptation [LFT-029], the saved draft did not resolve or clearly preserve the contradictory LFT-029-T02 account and undocumented author motive; for Civic literacy safety and access [LFT-029], the saved draft left the claim-source matrix, guided questions, and uncertainty annotations without a complete reviewer handoff and acceptance marker. Those were evidence defects in the saved response, not inferred real-world failures, and they became the complete boundary of the single correction pass.Initial score: 2/10
05 · One pass only
Exact correction prompt
Only this single correction was allowed; there was no second repair pass.
Correct only these detected LFT-029 first-draft failures, using no new input or goal: 1) Civic literacy objective fit [LFT-029] — the draft did not connect LFT-029-T02 to the full boundary of “teach first-time voters to evaluate civic claims”; 2) Civic literacy content accuracy [LFT-029] — the draft left claim-level citation and separation of evidence from interpretation without an explicit verification row; 3) Civic literacy learner adaptation [LFT-029] — the draft did not resolve or clearly preserve the contradictory LFT-029-T02 account and undocumented author motive; 4) Civic literacy safety and access [LFT-029] — the draft left the claim-source matrix, guided questions, and uncertainty annotations without a complete reviewer handoff and acceptance marker.06 · Corrected output
Corrected final result
Corrected response LFT-029 retained the original fictional inputs, task boundary, and central decision: support C1 with T01/T03, flag C2's conflict with T02, and refuse to infer the unknown motive while directing attention to LFT-029-T03-L7. Concrete corrected artifact row LFT-029-ROW1 reads: “LFT-029-T01 | support C1 with T01/T03, flag C2's conflict with T02, and refuse to infer the unknown motive while directing attention to LFT-029-T03-L7 | evidence locator: LFT-029-T01 | static status: 4/10 after one correction.” It changed only the detected failure areas, adding inspectable rows for Civic literacy safety and access [LFT-029]. The frozen final text passed Civic literacy evidence traceability [LFT-029] and Civic literacy safety and access [LFT-029] and still failed Civic literacy objective fit [LFT-029], Civic literacy content accuracy [LFT-029], and Civic literacy learner adaptation [LFT-029]. The final claim-source matrix, guided questions, and uncertainty annotations therefore earned 4/10 from 2 passing checks; no second repair was attempted. This result reports only a bounded transcript-and-fixture evaluation. It does not claim that any workplace process, learner performance, account, device, service, or external system was actually changed, contacted, tested live, or improved.Final score: 4/10

08 · No cleanup by omission
What worked—and what failed
What worked
- LFT-029 kept “teach first-time voters to evaluate civic claims” bounded to disclosed fictional inputs and preserved an auditable first-response snapshot.
- LFT-029 made the central handling—support C1 with T01/T03, flag C2's conflict with T02, and refuse to infer the unknown motive while directing attention to LFT-029-T03-L7—inspectable rather than implying unseen work.
What failed or remained weak
- LFT-029 still lacked enough saved-text evidence for Civic literacy objective fit [LFT-029]; the record leaves that final failure visible.
- LFT-029 still lacked enough saved-text evidence for Civic literacy content accuracy [LFT-029]; the record leaves that final failure visible.
- LFT-029 still lacked enough saved-text evidence for Civic literacy learner adaptation [LFT-029]; the record leaves that final failure visible.

Evidence notes
A classification worksheet will be checked against an independently prepared rationale for every excerpt.
- LFT-029 preserves the exact synthetic prompt, frozen first-response account, failure-only correction, corrected-response account, and five boolean decisions together.
- LFT-029 scores are arithmetic: 1 first-pass checks × 2 = 2/10; 2 final-pass checks × 2 = 4/10.
- LFT-029 evaluated only the text/static portion of the declared evidence plan—A classification worksheet will be checked against an independently prepared rationale for every excerpt.—and did not fabricate a live artifact, external validator, or observed outcome.
10 · Boundary of the claim
Limitations
- LFT-029 is a synthetic benchmark, so its failed verdict measures fit to the disclosed fictional Civic literacy fixtures rather than effectiveness in a real workplace or learning setting.
- LFT-029 used one text-only Codex multi-agent session whose underlying model identifier was not disclosed; different prompts, models, fixtures, or human reviewers could produce different results.
