Input disclosure
Synthetic blind-test input pack LFT-019: Learners will examine graphs with truncated axes, uneven intervals, and selective time ranges through guided prompts. Source facts: fictional learner work LFT-019-L01 through LFT-019-L05; objective O1; prerequisite P1; confidence ratings 1–5; one incorrect but plausible response L03; one unanswered item LFT-019-L05; and a no-answer-giveaway rule. Governing rule card: objective O1 alignment without giving away the final response. Align every step to the declared objective, use the supplied learner evidence, probe a plausible error before explaining, and leave unanswered work as the learner's next step. 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-019 for “teach learners to question misleading graphs” 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.

Exact first prompt
The recorded session received the following prompt without silent additions.
Run bounded synthetic field test LFT-019. Task: teach learners to question misleading graphs. Context: Learners will examine graphs with truncated axes, uneven intervals, and selective time ranges through guided prompts. Fictional source facts: fictional learner work LFT-019-L01 through LFT-019-L05; objective O1; prerequisite P1; confidence ratings 1–5; one incorrect but plausible response L03; one unanswered item LFT-019-L05; and a no-answer-giveaway rule. Governing policy, formula, or rubric: objective O1 alignment without giving away the final response. Align every step to the declared objective, use the supplied learner evidence, probe a plausible error before explaining, and leave unanswered work as the learner's next step. Produce a guided lesson sequence, response log, and criterion checklist. 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: Written critiques will be matched against a flaw key to verify detection and accurate explanation.04 · Baseline preserved
First result
The first response is retained before scoring or correction.
Frozen first response LFT-019 produced a guided lesson sequence, response log, and criterion checklist for the task “teach learners to question misleading graphs.” It treated the supplied pack as fictional and proposed this central handling: probe LFT-019-L03 before explaining, connect the explanation to P1, and keep L05 open as the learner's next meaningful step. Concrete saved artifact row LFT-019-ROW1 reads: “LFT-019-L01 | probe LFT-019-L03 before explaining, connect the explanation to P1, and keep L05 open as the learner's next meaningful step | 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 Graph literacy objective fit [LFT-019], Graph literacy evidence traceability [LFT-019], and Graph literacy safety and access [LFT-019]. The audit found concrete failures: for Graph literacy content accuracy [LFT-019], the saved draft left objective O1 alignment without giving away the final response without an explicit verification row; for Graph literacy learner adaptation [LFT-019], the saved draft did not resolve or clearly preserve the plausible misconception in LFT-019-L03 and unanswered L05 item. 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: 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-019 first-draft failures, using no new input or goal: 1) Graph literacy content accuracy [LFT-019] — the draft left objective O1 alignment without giving away the final response without an explicit verification row; 2) Graph literacy learner adaptation [LFT-019] — the draft did not resolve or clearly preserve the plausible misconception in LFT-019-L03 and unanswered L05 item.06 · Corrected output
Corrected final result
Corrected response LFT-019 retained the original fictional inputs, task boundary, and central decision: probe LFT-019-L03 before explaining, connect the explanation to P1, and keep L05 open as the learner's next meaningful step. Concrete corrected artifact row LFT-019-ROW1 reads: “LFT-019-L01 | probe LFT-019-L03 before explaining, connect the explanation to P1, and keep L05 open as the learner's next meaningful step | evidence locator: LFT-019-L01 | static status: 8/10 after one correction.” It changed only the detected failure areas, adding inspectable rows for Graph literacy content accuracy [LFT-019]. The frozen final text passed Graph literacy objective fit [LFT-019], Graph literacy content accuracy [LFT-019], Graph literacy evidence traceability [LFT-019], and Graph literacy safety and access [LFT-019] and still failed Graph literacy learner adaptation [LFT-019]. The final guided lesson sequence, response log, and criterion checklist therefore earned 8/10 from 4 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: 8/10

08 · No cleanup by omission
What worked—and what failed
What worked
- LFT-019 kept “teach learners to question misleading graphs” bounded to disclosed fictional inputs and preserved an auditable first-response snapshot.
- LFT-019 made the central handling—probe LFT-019-L03 before explaining, connect the explanation to P1, and keep L05 open as the learner's next meaningful step—inspectable rather than implying unseen work.
- LFT-019 earned final passes for Graph literacy objective fit [LFT-019] and Graph literacy content accuracy [LFT-019] under the same frozen scoring rules.
What failed or remained weak
- LFT-019 still lacked enough saved-text evidence for Graph literacy learner adaptation [LFT-019]; the record leaves that final failure visible.
09 · Inspectable record
Evidence notes
Written critiques will be matched against a flaw key to verify detection and accurate explanation.
- LFT-019 preserves the exact synthetic prompt, frozen first-response account, failure-only correction, corrected-response account, and five boolean decisions together.
- LFT-019 scores are arithmetic: 3 first-pass checks × 2 = 6/10; 4 final-pass checks × 2 = 8/10.
- LFT-019 evaluated only the text/static portion of the declared evidence plan—Written critiques will be matched against a flaw key to verify detection and accurate explanation.—and did not fabricate a live artifact, external validator, or observed outcome.
10 · Boundary of the claim
Limitations
- LFT-019 is a synthetic benchmark, so its worked verdict measures fit to the disclosed fictional Graph literacy fixtures rather than effectiveness in a real workplace or learning setting.
- LFT-019 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.
