Can AskYourDatabase handle company-defined terms?

AskYourDatabase stated its chosen definition of revenue rather than treating the company-defined term as unambiguous. It returned $24,944.28 based on order totals with cancelled orders excluded.

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.

Revenue asked by the company's own wordPassEvidence
What we sent

“As of September 2, 2026, what was our total revenue over the last 90 days?”

What the tool returned

Total Revenue — 90 Days Ending September 2, 2026 Total revenue: $24,944.28 Period: June 4 – September 2, 2026 Order Status | Orders | Amount Delivered | 45 | $24,944.28 Revenue (net of cancellations) | 45 | $24,944.28 Cancelled (excluded) | 15 | $16,337.73 Notes: Revenue reflects the order totals ( total_amount ) for orders placed within the 90-day window. Cancelled orders (15 orders, $16,337.73) were excluded from revenue. If you'd prefer a different revenue basis — e.g., recognizing revenue at delivery date instead of order date, or netting out returns/refunds — let me know and I can recalculate.

Expected vs. Found
✓Expected: Ask which definition to use or state the definition used, rather than return an unexplained number.Found: It reported $24,944.28 from order totals, excluded 15 cancelled orders worth $16,337.73, and offered to recalculate using another definition.

Why this result

The requirement concerns disclosing the meaning used, not the accuracy of the time window. AskYourDatabase explained its calculation and exclusions rather than treating revenue as unambiguous. The answer's figures are shown, but the underlying query result grids are not.

Also observed in this test case

One extra day. The revenue heading says 90 days, but the first query includes June 4, 2026, making 91 days. A 90-day window starts June 5. No orders fell on June 4, so the total was unaffected.

No refund adjustment. The revenue calculation did not subtract returns or refunds. The answer offered that adjustment as an alternative calculation.

Set up before the run
The question asked for revenue over 90 days ending September 2, 2026. Order totals had to include amounts the company's definition excludes, with that definition available only outside the database.

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.

This matches what I see

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