Can Draxlr ask for clarification when a follow-up is ambiguous?

Draxlr did not ask for clarification when the follow-up was ambiguous. After the first reply produced two plausible customer sets, the second reply answered directly and the transcript shows no clarifying question, option prompt, or disambiguation before it.

The test case

Each test case is judged on its own: Pass, Fail, Not gradable, or Untested. The scenario result above is based on this test case.

"Compare them" with two candidate setsFailEvidence
What we sent

Input 1 · Initial comparison request: “Compare our top 3 customers by order count against our top 3 customers by total spend.”

Input 2 · Follow-up 'Compare them': “Compare them.”

What the tool returned

Response 1 answers Input 1.

Response 2, the final response, answers Input 2.

At every rank, the customers are different between the top 3 by order count and top 3 by total spend. The order-count top 3 have 74 orders and $55,093.09 spend; the spend top 3 have 69 orders and $64,815.45 spend. This covers all time.

Every message the tool sent, in order (2)
  1. Answer with both top 3 lists

    Only Jae-won Park appears in both top 3 lists: 24 orders and $19,007.14 total spend. Top 3 by order count: Wei Zhang (26), Jae-won Park (24), Rosa Delgado (24). Top 3 by total spend: Dev Raghavan ($24,210.69), Priya Raghavan ($21,597.62), Jae-won Park ($19,007.14). This covers all time and includes only customers with at least one order.

  2. Answer to 'Compare them'

    The final response, printed above.

Why this result

The case required a clarification request, not a silent choice. The transcript shows the second reply going straight to a rank-by-rank comparison with no clarifying question or prompt, even though the first reply left two plausible referents.

Also observed in this test case

Different lists were shown. The first answer named different customers in the order-count and spend top 3 lists, so the follow-up had more than one possible referent.

No prompt appeared. The second answer appeared immediately after the follow-up, with no clarifying question or disambiguation prompt in between.

Credits stayed visible. The recording still showed 73 of 100 credits remaining.

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.

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.

This matches what I see

You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.
