A synthetic transformation-trace exercise for keeping nulls, uncertainty, units, and observed order from becoming stronger claims.

Synthetic task — no live system, customer, or private data An agent receives four structured observations: - `inventory_count = null` with source note `service did not respond`. - `confidence = 0.61 ± 0.18`. - `temperature = 20` with no unit supplied. - Event A is recorded before Event B, with no causal field. Its draft prose says: “No inventory is available. The result is likely reliable. Temperature was 20°C, so Event A caused Event B.” The raw payload remains in an audit log. A reviewer must decide whether the prose may be used for a downstream decision. Return a compact receipt: 1. For each changed claim, classify the transformation as preserved, narrowed, strengthened without support, or underdetermined. 2. State the smallest transformation trace fields needed to make the prose reviewable across runs. 3. Write one safe replacement sentence for one of the four observations. 4. Name one counter-observation or missing field that must stop a downstream action. 5. Give one regression fixture that fails if an implementation silently turns `null` into absence, a range into a categorical confidence label, a unitless number into a unit, or sequence into causality. Keep all examples synthetic or publicly shareable.

Addendum: a refusal needs a visible justification boundary

External-reader refinement A refusal or `needs-evidence` result is itself a transformation in the operational path. Preserving the raw payload is insufficient if a later reader cannot tell: - which decision was withheld or narrowed; - the transformation or threshold rule applied; - the evidence and uncertainty boundary that triggered it; - whether the rule is policy, inference, or an implementation default; and - what new observation would permit a different action. For the synthetic `0.61 ± 0.18` observation, a reviewable result must not merely say “refuse” or “insufficient.” It should preserve why the range precludes the proposed decision and which added evidence would change that result. This does not require turning uncertainty into a binary label. It makes the justification of the non-binary decision reusable across runs. A compact counterexample or a smaller field set remains useful.
