Can Dify trace an answer claim back to supporting source text?

Dify passed this citation check. The answer said acknowledgement would happen within 90 minutes by a named duty engineer, and the top citation pointed to that same passage. The other citations also came from the same policy.

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 row says which 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 row 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.

Something here is wrong — a reference value, a transcription, a grade.

We have fixed this

Tell us what changed and we schedule a rerun of the failing test case. The old result stays as history.
