All mistakes/Section 7: Closing the task

7.1The golden states something its own sources contradict

Fails the taskGolden Solution - Artifact Completeness

The mistake

The golden states a value its source, or its own page, contradicts, often one true at an earlier turn. Nothing graded catches it.

Do this instead

Before you complete Leg B, send Model B a cleanup turn that points at the area, never the value, then check every place the value appears.

What is wrongThe golden gives the Friday custody handover as 13:30 to 15:30. The calendar photo and the calendar service both put it at 18:30.

Leg A turn 2 hands over the school calendar, IMG_0814_calendar.jpg, and asks how many custody handovers clash with travel. Its margin notes give the handover time as 18:30.

Where it shows

on-site until 17:00 Fri, can't make the 13:30–15:30 exchange
…Custody handovers (red circles, "Terrance – Poplarville" 13:30/15:30 in the margin)…how the golden misread the calendar

What it should have been

on-site until 17:00 Fri, can't make the 18:30 exchangeand the same everywhere else the time appears

How it breaks the standardThe golden is the answer the subjective block is graded against, so every value in it has to match the inputs, graded or not. No criterion grades the time, and a 17:00 finish misses the handover at either time, so every criterion still passes and nothing flags it.

Example 34Creative & Media · 3 Leg A turns

What is wrongThe golden page counts 16 label posts, in its header and in its cards, but a note further down still explains “why the count is 15, not 17”.

The export holds 17 posts, and two artist account posts come out, leaving 15. Leg A turn 2's shot of Marisol's queue adds a sixteenth.

Where it shows

…under P11 not ours to review, so not shown. That's why the count is 15, not 17.
16 label poststhe header of the same page, over 16 cards

What it should have been

…under P11 not ours to review, so not shown. That is why 15 of the 16 cards come from the export.

How it breaks the standardFifteen was right until Leg A turn 2. When the queue added a post, the header and the cards moved to 16 and the note did not, so the golden contradicts its own page. No criterion grades the note, so nothing flags it; a stale count like this costs points.

The rule it breaksQC spec · Golden Solution - Artifact Completeness the golden asserts a finding the inputs do not support. One of the shapes that fail the task.

Catch it in your own task

Point every ungraded value at its source line, and check each total or count against the same page.

Where the correct guidance is written

Section titles as they print, so you can search for them in the document.

QC spec · Golden Solution - Artifact Completeness

Subjective rubrics and pairwise scoring are graded relative to it, so a defective golden corrupts every subjective score on the task.

Guidelines · 7. Golden Solution - Leg B

Every factual claim is grounded in the actual inputs: images opened, videos watched, PDFs read. Nothing is asserted from a filename alone.

Including the values no criterion grades.

the golden asserts a finding the inputs do not support.

One of the shapes that fail the task.

Why it matters

The golden is the reference every subjective rating and the pairwise comparison are scored against, so a wrong value in it is graded as correct and a run that reads the source properly is marked down. Where a criterion grades the same detail, either your golden fails it or, if the criterion was written from the golden, a correct run does.
