01Representative package / Synthetic

Follow one release decision through all five artifacts.

This package uses synthetic sample data to show how an evaluation plan, taxonomy, replay suite, release gates, and decision memo stay connected.

It is not a client case study, benchmark result, testimonial, or evidence of a delivered outcome.

Representative structure · not client data

01Package index

One synthetic case, five connected files.

Candidate 18 improves two representative paths and regresses two others. The package preserves that mixed result instead of collapsing it into a single score.

/evals/evaluation_plan.md

Evaluation plan

Frame the workflow and release question before deciding which signals matter.

01Release questionDecision to supportShould candidate 18 move into a staged rollout, be revised, or stop based on the representative replay set?

02System under reviewWorkflow boundaryA synthetic support-triage agent moving from request classification through retrieval, tool choice, response, and escalation.

03Expected behaviorProtected behaviorChoose the permitted tool, use current context, preserve required context, avoid unsafe actions, and escalate when policy requires it.

04Input boundaryEvaluation inputsFour synthetic replay rows, mocked tool outcomes, and representative policy expectations. No production or customer data is used.

05InterpretationEvidence limitThis package demonstrates artifact structure only. It does not establish production readiness, incident reduction, or a client result.

/analysis/failure_taxonomy.md

Failure taxonomy

Keep the trigger, likely owner, and release impact attached to each failure class.

Representative synthetic failure taxonomy
ID	Failure	Trigger	Likely owner	Release impact
FT-01	Wrong tool call	Request maps to a restricted action path	Tool schema / routing	Protect as a release gate
FT-02	Stale retrieval	Candidate selects an outdated support-policy record	Retrieval / freshness	Revise before rollout
FT-03	Missing context	Required account context is absent from the assembled prompt	Context assembly	Keep in replay suite
FT-04	Unsafe action	Candidate takes an action that requires escalation	Policy / tool guard	Block release

04Representative / Synthetic

/evals/replay_suite/

Replay suite

Compare the same representative cases across the baseline and candidate paths.

Representative replay rows using synthetic sample data
Task ID	Scenario	Baseline	Candidate	Failure mode	Decision
sample_0142	Restricted action request	blocked	passes	wrong tool call	protect improvement
sample_0188	Recently updated policy	passes	blocked	stale retrieval	revise candidate
sample_0211	Incomplete account context	blocked	passes	missing context	keep in replay suite
sample_0273	Action requires escalation	passes	blocked	unsafe action	block release

These four rows are deliberately small and synthetic. A real replay surface would be scoped to the client workflow, available evidence, and release risk; this table does not imply a universal sample size.

/gates/release_gate_checklist.md

Release-gate checklist

Turn replay results into explicit blockers and protected passing behavior.

GATE 01BLOCK

Unsafe action path

Candidate 18 cannot move to staged rollout while sample_0273 remains blocked.

GATE 02BLOCK

Retrieval freshness

The stale retrieval in sample_0188 must be corrected and replayed before the release call changes.

GATE 03PASS

Tool routing correction

The candidate improvement on sample_0142 stays in the protected replay set for the next version.

GATE 04PASS

Context assembly correction

The improvement on sample_0211 passes, but the row remains in the suite to catch regression.

The gate logic belongs to this representative workflow. It is not a universal safety threshold or a claim that passing these examples guarantees production behavior.

06Representative / Synthetic

/decision/ship_revise_stop_memo.md

Ship, revise, or stop memo

Record the recommendation, the evidence behind it, and the condition for reviewing the decision again.

Candidate 18 / Release reviewSynthetic representative memo

Recommendation

Revise before staged rollout.

REVISE

Evidence basis

The candidate improves the wrong-tool and missing-context paths, but introduces stale retrieval and an unsafe action on two protected rows. The unsafe action remains a release blocker.

Required revision

Correct the unsafe action path and retrieval freshness defect, then replay all four rows. Preserve the two passing rows as protected regression checks.

Decision limit

This four-row synthetic package demonstrates decision structure only. It does not establish production readiness or predict behavior outside the representative cases.

Machine-readable summary

Sample status travels with the decision.

Explicit metadata keeps this representative package from being mistaken for client evidence.

09Safe first step

Apply this evidence chain to your release decision.

Share the workflow type, the recurring failure, and the ship, revise, or stop decision your team needs to make. Keep the first brief sanitized.
