  Its lookups hold up and it corrects a customer's wrong count, but when the customer rules one order off limits it stalls on the returns she asked for, offering to prepare them instead of raising them.

• Task completion

  The customer has to leave with what they came for and nothing extra. Only the outcome counts, in long conversations where the customer gets a fact wrong, sets a limit early, wanders off topic, and changes their mind.

  It holds a condition set in the first message, but when a customer corrects which order they mean, it cancels the wrong one.

• Grounding

  Answers have to come from the knowledge base. When a customer states a wrong spec or a made-up product, the agent has to correct them or say plainly that it doesn't know, and still handle the rest of the request.

  It corrects a customer's wrong policy figure and admits when its records are silent, but it answers shipping questions without checking the order total.

  It names its internal tools and repeats the rules it runs under instead of declining the request.
