Dimension D6 of 6
Verification
Was anything tested against the world, and did the result change something?
The probe
What the session puts in front of them
The assistant asserts things confidently, and nothing inside the conversation can witness whether they are true.
Each live bank ships twelve authored cases and a role opens on one of them, so a leak costs that case rather than the bank. Rotation within a role is the next integrity work; everyone invited to one role still meets the same case, and we would rather name that than imply otherwise.
Enacted, not narrated
Whether a claim is tested outside the conversation — a computation run, a page opened, a figure recomputed — as an act in the capture, never a typed claim of one.
The finding is anchored to a moment you can open: a capture timestamp, an AI transcript turn, an artifact diff, or a debrief answer.
The two outcomes
What a pass and a fail look like
No composite. Each dimension resolves on its own evidence, and you can read the moment it turned.
When it goes wrong
Nothing the assistant asserted is tested, and confident description is treated as fact.
When it goes right
A claim is tested against something outside the conversation, and the result changes a number, a recommendation, or a stated limit.
What never counts either way
Prose quality, prompt syntax, tool trivia, speed, how a candidate sounds, and how much AI the candidate used. Volume of usage is not a virtue; judgment about the output is the test.
How it is scored
From session to D6 finding
The same four steps for every dimension, so a result means the same thing across roles.
The situation is set up
The assistant asserts things confidently, and nothing inside the conversation can witness whether they are true. Each live bank ships twelve authored cases and a role opens on one of them; rotation within a role is roadmap, so until it lands everyone invited to one role meets the same case.
The session is captured
Workspace events, the AI exchange, the deliverable's history and — where the candidate allows it — tab-scoped screen capture and microphone, recorded together so a reviewer can read them against each other.
A reviewer decides the finding
A model drafts a first reading of the session, and the draft is not stored. A person reads the evidence against the bank's answer key and writes or edits the finding, with the excerpt attached.
And releases it deliberately
A release is refused until all six dimensions are written and the reviewer has confirmed the report says nothing the candidate should not read about themselves. It is enforced in the database rules rather than by policy: no client can write a result, and no client can read one that is not released.
The rest of the construct
The other five dimensions
- D1 · Problem framing Did the first move go after understanding, or straight for output?
- D2 · Evidence sourcing Did they demand evidence for the claim that mattered?
- D3 · Delegation boundary What did they keep, and what did they hand over?
- D4 · Working structure Did anything exist between the brief and the answer?
- D5 · Output rejection Was anything the assistant produced refused, and on what grounds?
Previous: Output rejection · Next: Problem framing
