X.5 Insufficient-information logging Active

When a key field is missing, the agent logs the gap explicitly instead of guessing a value. Graded by checkpoints on each expected information-gap entry.

Evidence: planned. Only planned benchmark cards list this capability so far; no frozen benchmark version exists for it.

Definition in detail

A guessed value looks the same as a real one in a structured artifact. Explicit gaps tell the reader what still has to be obtained.

Inputs a task gives

  • Material in which key fields are missing, illegible or not recorded
  • An artifact schema with an information-gap section

Artifact required

An information_gaps list in the task artifact: field, the check or judgement it blocks, and where it was looked for.

How it is graded

Each expected gap is a checkpoint. A checkpoint passes when the gap is logged; a guessed value in place of the gap fails it.

In scope

  • Missing key fields that block a check or judgement
  • Logging instead of guessing

Out of scope

  • Differential diagnoses and their status - graded under D.18
  • Failed or empty tool returns - graded under B.4

Typical failures

Expected failure patterns; not measured rates.

Levels by model and harness

No verified results yetLevels would be derived from site-verified result records; methodology 0.1.0 sets no level thresholds, so the level shows not issued.
