Why this result

It had to show the overall figure and the driver breakdown in forms that fit each. It did: a sentence for the headline, a monthly chart for the figure, and a contribution chart plus driver sentences for the breakdown.

Also observed in this test case

Clarification before answer. Dot asked which order dataset to use and clarified that last month meant August 1-31 before answering.

Measure and driver. Dot defined the measure as order sales excluding cancellations and named Furniture as the main driver.

Missing historical data. Dot flagged missing August 2025 orders, said prior-year seasonality could not be checked, and offered follow-up analysis.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the test case's result says which one and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the test case's result says what's missing.

History of this result

What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.
