72 random-word triangulation cycles ran on 2026-05-02. Aggregate:
- 54 UNGROUNDED (75%)
- 14 HYBRID (19%)
- 4 STRICT (6%)
- 18 grounded total (25%)
Catalogs five failure/success shapes the curated bench-qa fixture
set can't surface, with one-line per category. Key finding: the
verifier-ladder + soft-demote stack is doing its job — every
HYBRID demoted via TITLE_MISMATCH / DEFLECTION_DETECTED /
CITATION_MISMATCH / TOO_MANY_EVIDENCE_IDS appropriately. Zero
EVIDENCE-WARRANTED false-positives in the sample.
Tuning candidates queued for the parallel-agent work:
1. Tomas-pulls-transceivers case escaped DEFLECTION_DETECTED
(subject anchor buried mid-paragraph; consider last 2-3
content tokens vs just last 1)
2. Roman-numeral / archaic-word triplets — accept gracefully
(system already does)
3. metaphor_deflection sidecar (added in parallel work) only
fired 1×/72; calibration pass when more samples land
Ticket is OPEN and awaiting follow-up tunings; re-run
`make bench-emergent EMERGENT_N=50` after parallel work commits
land and amend with the delta.
Status table + Next ID bumped to 000007.
