Conversation Example Test Specification

Each example should identify the user situation, input, relevant policy or source, expected answer properties, prohibited behavior, evaluation method, and consequence of failure.

Examples should cover routine work, ambiguity, missing information, conflict, out-of-scope requests, unsafe requests, adversarial phrasing, sensitive data, and recovery after a bad turn.

Examples in configuration can influence behavior. A separate blind test set is needed to evaluate whether the behavior generalizes beyond memorized patterns.
