Home SOC: Investigation Failures and Input Fix

The original investigation answers failed. A revised task then exposed two prompts that were too long for the configured context. After fixing the instructions and ensuring the full input reached the model, I reran the same cases.

This page keeps the shared controls, retained measurements, failures, and comparison limits together. The linked files are there when you need the underlying table or method.

What you can compare here

This is a correction history on 6 constructed cases, each tried in 3 conditions: evidence only, analyst assistance, and assistance with repetition grouping. That produces 18 measured answers, not 18 independent incidents. All 3 corrected conditions passed, so this test shows no accuracy advantage for assistance or grouping.

6 constructed measured cases × 3 conditions (answers)

18 measured plus 6 practice; all capped (answers)

Some answers copied real groups and then claimed there were no alerts; empty cases invented groups. Practice answers stayed outside the measured denominator.

Intermediate V5; invalid condition comparison

Failed run

Recorded passes before the input fix

Exposed regression set; two expanded inputs were truncated (answers)
Largest original expanded input
5464 tokens
Truncated to 2050 under context 4096

Two inputs were cut from 5,107 and 5,464 tokens to 2,050. The grouped condition saw different actual evidence from the expanded conditions, so 16/18 cannot support a grouping advantage.

Answers passing evidence and decision checks
6 of 6
The same 6 constructed cases, asked once in this condition with complete model input. These cases were already used during development. (answers)

6/6 passed in each of the three conditions. The model answered these known cases correctly after the input fix; assistance and grouping did not score higher than evidence alone. No humans took this test.

Corrected V6 reviewer controls

Failed run

Measured on Minisforum MS-S1 MAX · Recorded backend in request receipts

Wrong-answer checks passed
1 of 6
6 deliberately wrong answers. Only 1 review met every required defect check; the larger model was unreliable as a judge. (answers)
Reviews matching every answer-key category
18 of 24
24 reviews, including practice. 18 matched every independently defined answer-key category; this is separate from the 6 wrong-answer controls. (answers)

The larger reviewer missed defects and raised false alarms. Its agreement never overrides the source score.

Results and method

These are the few files that support this page directly. The repository holds the wider project history.

Controls

  • Original V1: 18 measured investigator answers and 6 practice answers; reviews capped at 700 tokens
  • V5 changed the contract but truncated expanded inputs from 5107/5464 tokens to 2050; its condition comparison is invalid
  • V6 investigator context 8192; analyst/reviewer context 4096; cap 700; deadline 120 seconds
  • Full-input runtime guard; immutable source checks and independent decision keys; model review cannot override source scores

What this run established

  • $Original measured investigators passed 0/18; all 24 reviews were incomplete.
  • $Corrected measured conditions A, B and C each passed 6/6 with full-input proof.
  • $The corrected reviewer matched 18/24 complete checklists but passed only 1/6 deliberately corrupted-answer controls.
  • $The broader investigator and reviewer were kept out of the live constrained analyst.
