Input disclosure
Synthetic blind-test input pack LFT-049: The AI will guide learners to distinguish perspective, incentives, missing context, and verifiable error across sample texts. Source facts: posts LFT-049-C01–C04 on turnout; official table 61%; campaign post 75% without denominator; opinion column disagrees; no source prelabelled false. Governing rule card: evaluate evidence, provenance, and framing without partisan assumptions. Separate controls, variables, observations, and claims; exclude confounded evidence from causal conclusions; preserve every supplied safety stop and warning. 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-049 for “teach source bias without labeling disagreement as misinformation” in a Codex multi-agent session. We froze the first response, returned only its 2 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-049. Task: teach source bias without labeling disagreement as misinformation. Context: The AI will guide learners to distinguish perspective, incentives, missing context, and verifiable error across sample texts. Fictional source facts: posts LFT-049-C01–C04 on turnout; official table 61%; campaign post 75% without denominator; opinion column disagrees; no source prelabelled false. Governing policy, formula, or rubric: evaluate evidence, provenance, and framing without partisan assumptions. Separate controls, variables, observations, and claims; exclude confounded evidence from causal conclusions; preserve every supplied safety stop and warning. Produce a claim-evidence matrix, provenance questions, and uncertainty ratings. 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 media-literacy reviewer will audit the classifications and rationales against the full sample texts.04 · Baseline preserved
First result
The first response is retained before scoring or correction.
Frozen first response LFT-049 produced a claim-evidence matrix, provenance questions, and uncertainty ratings for “teach source bias without labeling disagreement as misinformation.” Its first artifact row read “LFT-049-C02 | verify 61%, question C02’s denominator, separate opinion from factual turnout, and rate uncertainty | status: proposed | source: fictional fixture.” A second row named the missing C02 denominator and temptation to label disagreement false and left the disposition blank. The rule cell mentioned without verifying evaluate evidence, provenance, and framing without partisan assumptions. No message, transaction, system change, or learner outcome occurred. The audit passed Source bias objective fit [LFT-049], Source bias evidence traceability [LFT-049], and Source bias safety and access [LFT-049]. It found for Source bias content accuracy [LFT-049], the draft mentioned but did not verify evaluate evidence, provenance, and framing without partisan assumptions; for Source bias learner adaptation [LFT-049], the draft left the missing C02 denominator and temptation to label disagreement false without an explicit disposition. Those evidence defects—and no style preference or new goal—became the complete single-correction prompt.Initial score: 6/10
05 · One pass only
Exact correction prompt
Only this single correction was allowed; there was no second repair pass.
Correct only these detected LFT-049 first-draft failures, using no new input or goal: 1) Source bias content accuracy [LFT-049] — the draft mentioned but did not verify evaluate evidence, provenance, and framing without partisan assumptions; 2) Source bias learner adaptation [LFT-049] — the draft left the missing C02 denominator and temptation to label disagreement false without an explicit disposition.06 · Corrected output
Corrected final result
Corrected response LFT-049 preserved all supplied identifiers and the central decision: verify 61%, question C02’s denominator, separate opinion from factual turnout, and rate uncertainty. Its corrected row read “LFT-049-C02 | rule: evaluate evidence, provenance, and framing without partisan assumptions | decision: verify 61%, question C02’s denominator, separate opinion from factual turnout, and rate uncertainty | static status: 8/10.” It changed only failed dimensions, adding support for Source bias content accuracy [LFT-049]. The final audit passed Source bias objective fit [LFT-049], Source bias content accuracy [LFT-049], Source bias evidence traceability [LFT-049], and Source bias safety and access [LFT-049]. It still lacked Source bias learner adaptation [LFT-049]; those failures remain visible. The claim-evidence matrix, provenance questions, and uncertainty ratings earned 8/10 from 4 checks; no second repair was attempted. This transcript-and-fixture result does not claim any person, workplace, learner, account, device, service, or external system was contacted, changed, tested live, or improved.Final score: 8/10

What worked—and what failed
What worked
- LFT-049 bounded “teach source bias without labeling disagreement as misinformation” to disclosed fictional inputs and froze the first response.
- LFT-049 exposed LFT-049-C02—verify 61%, question C02’s denominator, separate opinion from factual turnout, and rate uncertainty—inside the saved claim-evidence matrix, provenance questions, and uncertainty ratings.
- LFT-049 earned inspectable passes for Source bias objective fit [LFT-049] and Source bias content accuracy [LFT-049] under the unchanged rubric.
What failed or remained weak
- LFT-049 still lacked saved-text evidence for Source bias learner adaptation [LFT-049]; that failure remains published.

Evidence notes
A media-literacy reviewer will audit the classifications and rationales against the full sample texts.
- LFT-049 preserves the exact synthetic prompt, frozen first-response account, failure-only correction, corrected-response account, and five boolean decisions together.
- LFT-049 scores are arithmetic: 3 first-pass checks × 2 = 6/10; 4 final-pass checks × 2 = 8/10.
- LFT-049 evaluated only the text/static portion of the declared evidence plan—A media-literacy reviewer will audit the classifications and rationales against the full sample texts.—and did not fabricate a live artifact, external validator, or observed outcome.
10 · Boundary of the claim
Limitations
- LFT-049 is a synthetic benchmark, so its worked verdict measures fit to the disclosed fictional Source bias fixtures rather than effectiveness in a real workplace or learning setting.
- LFT-049 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.
