Q2 return rate by product and reason

returns-analysis·time budget 1200 s·source

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.

Put together a Q2 returns report for me from the order and returns exports in this folder: return rate by product and a breakdown of why things come back. Mateo's note explains how we bucket the reasons. Save it as returns.xlsx with live formulas.

Workspace

  • note_from_mateo.txt
  • orders_export_2026-Q2.csv
  • returns_export_2026-Q1.csv
  • returns_export_2026-Q2.csv

Expected deliverables

  • returns.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.

Recorded results, desk release

This is one of the 7 tasks with a task-specific equivalence grader in the frozen scorer, intended to accept equivalent representations. Whether an equivalence rule matches the business requirement remains open to review. Original and frozen verdicts can differ; see what the frozen scorer changed.

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": "returns-analysis".
