## What this file is

A downloadable record of asking two products the same monthly refund-rate question: Product A returned a caption with no statement; Product B left a plan, a reopenable statement, and a family table. It is **not** a named-logo customer case, a vendor bake-off, or a BLS / SEC / Stanford / McKinsey / NIST experiment.

## Four-step method (reproducible)

1. Bind a monthly operations-adjacent goal on a read-only orders source plus a one-page remap note locking SKU family. Sanitize first.
2. Ask Product A and Product B the same standing goal. Request a Markdown memo, two charts, and intermediate tables.
3. Score Product A on three checks: statement reopens, family table open, file downloadable.
4. Score Product B on the same three checks. Keep both artifacts side by side.

## Source and goal

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Sources | One orders table, about 12,685 fulfilled lines across two complete months, plus a one-page remap note locking SKU family |
| Standing goal | Why did refund rate move last month versus the prior month |
| Contrast | Product A (caption only) vs Product B (plan → statement → file) |

## Results

| Retrieval state | Statement reopens | Family table open | File downloadable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product A (caption only) | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Product B (plan → statement → file) | 1 | 1 | 1 |

Fulfilled rows on this run: 6,275 (prior month) vs 6,410 (later month). Product A could not show the remap. Product B opened the family table and named the collision: one SKU remapped mid-month. The reviewer rejected Product A and accepted Product B.

Wall-clock for the successful Product B trail: 10 minutes (warehouse time excluded). The clock started when the operator opened the standing goal and ended when the statement, the family table, and the file sat in one folder.

## What you may cite

- Artifact counts 0/0/0 → 1/1/1, 6,275 vs 6,410 fulfilled rows, ~12,685 lines, ~10 min wall-clock, run ID
- First-party aggregate CSV and verify script next to this log (row check only; not a third-party audit)

## What you may not claim

- Customer uplift %, official EEAT score, named-logo case, or that BLS / SEC / BIS / WHO / PubMed / Stanford / McKinsey / Gartner / NIST / OWASP / WAIC scored this run
