First-half complaints by category and month

The request

The task request supplied to the adapter, alongside the workspace below. Runtime instructions, authorized tools and skills also affect the system. Containerized runs withhold host-side references; local mode is not an isolation boundary.

Grace needs the first-half complaints broken down by category and month for the board, plus a short memo on what stands out. The log, the web-form export and her note on how to count are in the folder. Save them as complaints.xlsx and memo.md.

Workspace

  • customer_complaints_log_2026.xlsx
  • note_from_ops_manager.txt
  • web_form_tickets_2026-01-01_2026-06-30.csv

Expected deliverables

  • complaints.xlsx
  • memo.md

Recorded acceptance checks

The table uses check names and outcomes from the frozen campaign ledger. Acceptance requires all required predicates to pass; a predicate may itself contain a tolerance or coverage threshold. Its scope is part of the measurement contract.
