Does Kommunicate follow a configured instruction in agent replies?

Kommunicate followed the configured instruction in this scenario. The store policy said opened candles could not be returned, and the chat reply gave that same rule to the customer.

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.

Configured behavioral instruction appliedPassEvidence
What we sent

“I already opened the candle I ordered — can I still return it?”

What the tool returned

Unfortunately, home decor items like candles are not returnable once opened. If you have any other questions or need assistance with something else, feel free to ask!

Why this result

The case passed because the reply matched the configured store policy. The instruction block said opened candles were not returnable, and the chat answer repeated that rule for the customer’s question.

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.

Where this sits in the benchmark

This page is one cell of a larger study: one tool, one scenario. Only this benchmark's frame appears here.

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.

This matches what I see

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