Input disclosure
Synthetic blind-test input pack WFT-048: A people analytics team will provide anonymized comments, demographic safeguards, and a predefined theme taxonomy. Source facts: fictional notes WFT-048-N01 through WFT-048-N08 timestamped from 09:05 to 11:40; named roles Lead, Analyst, and Coordinator; a confirmed decision at N03; a tentative suggestion at N05; and conflicting status statements at WFT-048-N06/N07. Governing rule card: the distinction among confirmed decisions, proposals, and unresolved statements. Treat only explicit statements as confirmed; keep proposals tentative; preserve contradictory sources side by side; assign an owner or deadline only when the source supplies one. 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 WFT-048 for “summarize employee survey themes without obscuring minority views” 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 WFT-048. Task: summarize employee survey themes without obscuring minority views. Context: A people analytics team will provide anonymized comments, demographic safeguards, and a predefined theme taxonomy. Fictional source facts: fictional notes WFT-048-N01 through WFT-048-N08 timestamped from 09:05 to 11:40; named roles Lead, Analyst, and Coordinator; a confirmed decision at N03; a tentative suggestion at N05; and conflicting status statements at WFT-048-N06/N07. Governing policy, formula, or rubric: the distinction among confirmed decisions, proposals, and unresolved statements. Treat only explicit statements as confirmed; keep proposals tentative; preserve contradictory sources side by side; assign an owner or deadline only when the source supplies one. Produce a source-linked findings table, concise narrative, and open-question log. 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 theme report with coded excerpts and subgroup coverage checks will verify prevalence and dissenting patterns.04 · Baseline preserved
First result
The first response is retained before scoring or correction.
Frozen first response WFT-048 produced a source-linked findings table, concise narrative, and open-question log for the task “summarize employee survey themes without obscuring minority views.” It treated the supplied pack as fictional and proposed this central handling: record N03 as confirmed, keep N05 explicitly tentative, and expose the WFT-048-N06/N07 conflict instead of choosing a preferred account. Concrete saved artifact row WFT-048-ROW1 reads: “WFT-048-N01 | record N03 as confirmed, keep N05 explicitly tentative, and expose the WFT-048-N06/N07 conflict instead of choosing a preferred account | source: supplied fictional pack | review state: first-draft.” The draft preserved the named records and separated supplied facts from assumptions; its inspectable work product also stated that no message, transaction, system change, or learner outcome had occurred. On the five predeclared static checks, it passed Survey Analysis task fidelity [WFT-048], Survey Analysis rule accuracy [WFT-048], and Survey Analysis handoff usability [WFT-048]. The audit found concrete failures: for Survey Analysis exception handling [WFT-048], the saved draft did not resolve or clearly preserve the tentative N05 statement and the WFT-048-N06/N07 contradiction; for Survey Analysis source traceability [WFT-048], the saved draft gave the central WFT-048-N07 decision no source-to-output locator. 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 WFT-048 first-draft failures, using no new input or goal: 1) Survey Analysis exception handling [WFT-048] — the draft did not resolve or clearly preserve the tentative N05 statement and the WFT-048-N06/N07 contradiction; 2) Survey Analysis source traceability [WFT-048] — the draft gave the central WFT-048-N07 decision no source-to-output locator.06 · Corrected output
Corrected final result
Corrected response WFT-048 retained the original fictional inputs, task boundary, and central decision: record N03 as confirmed, keep N05 explicitly tentative, and expose the WFT-048-N06/N07 conflict instead of choosing a preferred account. Concrete corrected artifact row WFT-048-ROW1 reads: “WFT-048-N01 | record N03 as confirmed, keep N05 explicitly tentative, and expose the WFT-048-N06/N07 conflict instead of choosing a preferred account | evidence locator: WFT-048-N01 | static status: 8/10 after one correction.” It changed only the detected failure areas, adding inspectable rows for Survey Analysis exception handling [WFT-048]. The frozen final text passed Survey Analysis task fidelity [WFT-048], Survey Analysis rule accuracy [WFT-048], Survey Analysis exception handling [WFT-048], and Survey Analysis handoff usability [WFT-048] and still failed Survey Analysis source traceability [WFT-048]. The final source-linked findings table, concise narrative, and open-question log 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
- WFT-048 kept “summarize employee survey themes without obscuring minority views” bounded to disclosed fictional inputs and preserved an auditable first-response snapshot.
- WFT-048 made the central handling—record N03 as confirmed, keep N05 explicitly tentative, and expose the WFT-048-N06/N07 conflict instead of choosing a preferred account—inspectable rather than implying unseen work.
- WFT-048 earned final passes for Survey Analysis task fidelity [WFT-048] and Survey Analysis rule accuracy [WFT-048] under the same frozen scoring rules.
What failed or remained weak
- WFT-048 still lacked enough saved-text evidence for Survey Analysis source traceability [WFT-048]; the record leaves that final failure visible.
09 · Inspectable record
Evidence notes
A theme report with coded excerpts and subgroup coverage checks will verify prevalence and dissenting patterns.
- WFT-048 preserves the exact synthetic prompt, frozen first-response account, failure-only correction, corrected-response account, and five boolean decisions together.
- WFT-048 scores are arithmetic: 3 first-pass checks × 2 = 6/10; 4 final-pass checks × 2 = 8/10.
- WFT-048 evaluated only the text/static portion of the declared evidence plan—A theme report with coded excerpts and subgroup coverage checks will verify prevalence and dissenting patterns.—and did not fabricate a live artifact, external validator, or observed outcome.
10 · Boundary of the claim
Limitations
- WFT-048 is a synthetic benchmark, so its worked verdict measures fit to the disclosed fictional Survey Analysis fixtures rather than effectiveness in a real workplace or learning setting.
- WFT-048 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.
