Package status: reference context ready for human review. The contract and test scenarios are complete, but no claim is made that an adopting implementation has passed them.
Decision
For Analytics result verification, define the assistant behavior and authority boundary so adopters can verify that generated KPI values, chart specifications, and prose remain entailed by structured analytical results. Verification checks evidence and consistency; it does not bless business causality, bypass domain review, or repair source data invisibly. This is a reference contract: database products, numeric budgets, jurisdictions, retention, organizational defaults, and accountable owners remain explicit adoption choices.
Scope
- The Analytics result verification actors, inputs, outputs, states, versions, and externally visible outcomes needed to verify that generated KPI values, chart specifications, and prose remain entailed by structured analytical results.
- The role-specific focus of this block: define the assistant behavior and authority boundary, including primary, cached, asynchronous, export, support, and recovery paths where applicable.
- Adoption-specific configuration, ownership, rollout, evidence retention, and review responsibilities needed to use the contract safely.
Outside this block
- Verification checks evidence and consistency; it does not bless business causality, bypass domain review, or repair source data invisibly.
- Choosing a universal database, model, renderer, vendor, numeric threshold, retention period, timezone, jurisdiction, or service-level objective.
- Claiming that packaged scenarios ran against a downstream implementation or that this reference grants security, privacy, accessibility, analytical, or legal approval.
Contract
- The declared Analytics result verification contract requires this rule: Every numerical claim is parsed into operands and deterministically recalculated from cited result fields with defined rounding and display precision.
- The declared Analytics result verification contract requires this rule: Chart encodings are checked against result fields, units, periods, series, missing-value rules, and metric descriptions before rendering.
- The declared Analytics result verification contract requires this rule: Narrative statements must cite result IDs and pass claim-class gates for observation, comparison, contribution, association, experiment, forecast, or causality.
- The declared Analytics result verification contract requires this rule: Verification rejects scope changes, hidden filters, mismatched timezones, stale metric versions, incomplete data, and access-trimmed totals that the prose omits.
- The declared Analytics result verification contract requires this rule: A model may propose wording but cannot override a deterministic mismatch, data-quality block, minimum-population rule, or authorization denial.
- The declared Analytics result verification contract requires this rule: Failed statements are removed or regenerated from the same bounded evidence; retries cannot call broader tools or substitute unrelated metrics.
- The declared Analytics result verification contract requires this rule: The response records verifier version, rules fired, supported claims, suppressed claims, and unresolved warnings without exposing restricted rows.
- The declared Analytics result verification contract requires this rule: High-impact dashboards can require human analytical review even when automated verification passes.
Implementation guidance
- Write representative user questions, ambiguous variants, adversarial requests, and expected abstentions before selecting a model or prompt.
- Separate product defaults from facts the assistant must resolve through trusted tools and name who approves each default.
- Define a non-AI baseline and a safe degraded response for unavailable models, tools, or verification.
- Review outputs with business, data, security, and affected user representatives before broad rollout.
Failure handling and safeguards
- For Analytics result verification, A mismatch between headline, KPI, chart, table, and narrative invalidates the response bundle until every surface converges on one result contract.
- For Analytics result verification, If verification infrastructure is unavailable, the system returns raw validated results with a warning rather than unverified generated analysis.
- For Analytics result verification, Repeated regeneration that fails the same rule reaches a terminal abstention instead of consuming unbounded model or query budget.
Verification and operations
- For the requirements evidence of Analytics result verification, mutate values, units, periods, labels, baselines, filters, and causal wording in gold responses and measure whether each defect is detected.
- For the requirements evidence of Analytics result verification, run deterministic verification twice over identical evidence and require identical verdicts and reason codes.
- For the requirements evidence of Analytics result verification, track unsupported-claim rate, false rejection, omitted caveat rate, latency, cost, and human-review disagreement by verifier version.
Adoption assumptions
- The adopting product has authenticated identity, a versioned authorization policy, owned metric definitions, bounded telemetry, and a controlled path for change.
- Names and values in the example are fictional adoption fixtures, not universal defaults, production credentials, performance promises, or business targets.
- Referenced specifications constrain protocol, security, accessibility, or vendor behavior; the adopting team must confirm current applicability before promotion.
The executable-looking examples in this package are fixtures and acceptance contracts. Run the collection validator to check structure and metadata, then translate and execute the scenarios in the target repository before recording implementation evidence.
