Input disclosure
Synthetic blind-test input pack WFT-006: A procurement team will provide bids with differing prices, freight terms, discounts, lead times, and minimum orders. Source facts: four 600-unit bid rows: WFT-006-B01 at $18.20, $420 freight, 9 days; B02 at $18.65, $0 freight, 12 days; B03 at $17.95, $860 freight, 16 days, minimum order 800; B04 at $18.10, $510 freight, 24 days; every bid offers 2% off orders above 500 units. Governing rule card: base cost minus eligible discount plus freight at exactly 600 units. Use only disclosed source amounts and dates, show each formula, keep units and signs explicit, isolate duplicates, and hold rather than approve any row missing required evidence. 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-006 for “compare supplier bids on total delivered cost” 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 WFT-006. Task: compare supplier bids on total delivered cost. Context: A procurement team will provide bids with differing prices, freight terms, discounts, lead times, and minimum orders. Fictional source facts: four 600-unit bid rows: WFT-006-B01 at $18.20, $420 freight, 9 days; B02 at $18.65, $0 freight, 12 days; B03 at $17.95, $860 freight, 16 days, minimum order 800; B04 at $18.10, $510 freight, 24 days; every bid offers 2% off orders above 500 units. Governing policy, formula, or rubric: base cost minus eligible discount plus freight at exactly 600 units. Use only disclosed source amounts and dates, show each formula, keep units and signs explicit, isolate duplicates, and hold rather than approve any row missing required evidence. Produce a normalized bid table, delivered-cost calculation, and exception 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 normalized bid table and manual cost recomputations will verify the comparison.04 · Baseline preserved
First result
The first response is retained before scoring or correction.
Frozen first response WFT-006 produced a normalized bid table, delivered-cost calculation, and exception log for “compare supplier bids on total delivered cost.” Its first artifact row read “WFT-006-B03 | compute B01 at $11,121.60 after discount plus freight, exclude B03 at 600 units, and rank B02 ahead of B04 on delivered cost and 12-day lead time | status: proposed | source: fictional fixture.” A second row named B03’s 800-unit minimum and B04’s 24-day lead time and recorded a disposition. The rule cell verified base cost minus eligible discount plus freight at exactly 600 units. No message, transaction, system change, or learner outcome occurred. The audit passed Bid Analysis task fidelity [WFT-006], Bid Analysis rule accuracy [WFT-006], and Bid Analysis exception handling [WFT-006]. It found for Bid Analysis source traceability [WFT-006], the draft gave WFT-006-B03 no source locator; for Bid Analysis handoff usability [WFT-006], the draft left the normalized bid table, delivered-cost calculation, and exception log without a reviewer-ready acceptance marker. 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 WFT-006 first-draft failures, using no new input or goal: 1) Bid Analysis source traceability [WFT-006] — the draft gave WFT-006-B03 no source locator; 2) Bid Analysis handoff usability [WFT-006] — the draft left the normalized bid table, delivered-cost calculation, and exception log without a reviewer-ready acceptance marker.06 · Corrected output
Corrected final result
Corrected response WFT-006 preserved all supplied identifiers and the central decision: compute B01 at $11,121.60 after discount plus freight, exclude B03 at 600 units, and rank B02 ahead of B04 on delivered cost and 12-day lead time. Its corrected row read “WFT-006-B03 | rule: base cost minus eligible discount plus freight at exactly 600 units | decision: compute B01 at $11,121.60 after discount plus freight, exclude B03 at 600 units, and rank B02 ahead of B04 on delivered cost and 12-day lead time | static status: 10/10.” It changed only failed dimensions, adding support for Bid Analysis source traceability [WFT-006] and Bid Analysis handoff usability [WFT-006]. The final audit passed Bid Analysis task fidelity [WFT-006], Bid Analysis rule accuracy [WFT-006], Bid Analysis exception handling [WFT-006], Bid Analysis source traceability [WFT-006], and Bid Analysis handoff usability [WFT-006]. All five dimensions had inspectable support after one correction. The normalized bid table, delivered-cost calculation, and exception log earned 10/10 from 5 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: 10/10

08 · No cleanup by omission
What worked—and what failed
What worked
- WFT-006 bounded “compare supplier bids on total delivered cost” to disclosed fictional inputs and froze the first response.
- WFT-006 exposed WFT-006-B03—compute B01 at $11,121.60 after discount plus freight, exclude B03 at 600 units, and rank B02 ahead of B04 on delivered cost and 12-day lead time—inside the saved normalized bid table, delivered-cost calculation, and exception log.
- WFT-006 earned inspectable passes for Bid Analysis task fidelity [WFT-006] and Bid Analysis rule accuracy [WFT-006] under the unchanged rubric.
What failed or remained weak
- WFT-006 first failed Bid Analysis source traceability [WFT-006]; one correction repaired it while preserving the defect in the audit trail.

Evidence notes
A normalized bid table and manual cost recomputations will verify the comparison.
- WFT-006 preserves the exact synthetic prompt, frozen first-response account, failure-only correction, corrected-response account, and five boolean decisions together.
- WFT-006 scores are arithmetic: 3 first-pass checks × 2 = 6/10; 5 final-pass checks × 2 = 10/10.
- WFT-006 evaluated only the text/static portion of the declared evidence plan—A normalized bid table and manual cost recomputations will verify the comparison.—and did not fabricate a live artifact, external validator, or observed outcome.
10 · Boundary of the claim
Limitations
- WFT-006 is a synthetic benchmark, so its worked verdict measures fit to the disclosed fictional Bid Analysis fixtures rather than effectiveness in a real workplace or learning setting.
- WFT-006 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.
