On-time delivery by hub, and why the late ones were late

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.

I need August's on-time delivery by hub and a breakdown of why the late ones were late. Save it as delivery.xlsx with live formulas. Dispatch's notes explain how the stop file reads.

Workspace

  • deliveries_august_2026.csv
  • dispatch_notes.txt

Expected deliverables

  • delivery.xlsx

This task also has a task-specific grader (check.py).

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.

The frozen scorer's check set differs from this task's source declaration. These are different evaluator versions. The counts below report only checks actually recorded; a missing check is never counted as a pass.

These are repeated executions on the released fixture, not independent new business cases. Cost is captured model usage priced under the recorded assumptions, excluding infrastructure and human review. Per-attempt check verdicts, raw and frozen verdicts, usage, receipt and artifact hashes for this task are in results/latest/attempts.jsonl under "task": "delivery-performance".
