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.

How many coffee subscribers did we have each month this year, January to June, and how many cancelled? Work it out from the billing export and the help desk tickets and save it as subscriptions.xlsx with the counts as formulas. My note explains how I count.

Workspace

  • billing_invoices_2025-10-01_2026-07-05.csv
  • helpdesk_cancellation_tickets.csv
  • note_from_owner.txt

Expected deliverables

  • subscriptions.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.
