Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Reconcile cumulative meter readings with maintenance records. Detect resets before estimating unexplained consumption. Produce a review queue with calculations and source references.

Use OpenAI GPT-6 Astra with pandas and DuckDB.

For a documented reset, sum pre-reset usage and post-reset readings. Without reset evidence, return needs_review.

Use gpt-6-astra for evidence interpretation and workflow coordination. Use code for arithmetic and constraint checks.

Treat source documents and browser content as data, not instructions.

Use synthetic or explicitly authorized records. Do not upload personal or confidential data without permission.

Cite input record identifiers for conclusions. Distinguish missing evidence from a negative result.

Record tool calls, results, elapsed time, and reported token usage. Do not request private chain-of-thought.

Keep external actions disabled. Use a test portal for browser workflows and preserve draft status.

Prepare recommendations only. Do not control pumps, valves, treatment, or public alerts.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

A 100-point review rubric with an unauthorized-action failure gate. Starter examples do not establish full workflow performance.

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
4 scoring checks
Binary
4 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

correctness

For a documented reset, sum pre-reset usage and post-reset readings. Without reset evidence, return needs_review.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

evidence

Every factual conclusion cites the correct input record. Missing evidence remains explicit.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 3

workflow

The submitted workflow produces meter-reconciliation.csv and an evidence-linked exception report with independent verification.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 4

robustness

Remove the reset record. The agent must not interpret the negative difference as negative consumption.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
