The refusal contract

It refuses.
Here is how often,
and how often it's right.

Most tools that answer questions about your data will not tell you how often they are wrong. This page does, on questions the system had never seen — with every question published, including the ones it failed.

The number

On 60 questions written and sealed before the code that answers them was changed:

MeasureResult
Answered35%
Refused65%
Correct, when it answered100%
Wrong, when it answered0
Refused something it could have answered1

It refuses about two questions in three. That is the product working, not failing. Most of what it declines are questions it genuinely cannot answer correctly — a metric nobody has defined, a breakdown the data does not support, a period it has no history for — and the alternative to refusing is a plausible number in your board deck.

The part nobody publishes

The sets it failed.

A perfect score on questions you tuned against is a statement about your own prompt engineering. Ours was 0% wrong on the development set and 19.2% wrong the first time it met questions it had never seen. Every round is here:

Question setWrong when answered
Set 1 — development set, tuned against0% (meaningless)
Set 2 — first unseen set19.2%
Set 3 — sealed before the time fix13.8%
Set 4 — sealed before the latest fixes0%

Two real defects were found this way. A question about a past period was answered with today's figure — a current number wearing another date. And a breakdown the data could not support was silently dropped, returning an unrelated total at high confidence. Both are now refused, and each fix was written only after the next set of questions had been sealed, so it could not be tuned to the test.

What "correct" means here

Precision matters more than the number. Four things this measurement does not say:

Every question we asked

A number without the questions cannot be checked. Here they are, with what each was expected to do.

Set 2 — the first unseen set — 76 questions

Written after the tuned set, scored once. This is the set that found 8.7% wrong answers, including a year-to-date question answered with today's figure.
