VetsLearn — Analyze data & support decisions — 03: Verify calculations with executable evidence Revision 2026-10-03; fictional training fixture. OUTCOME Calculate and cross-check totals, rates and changes. INDEPENDENT TASK Independent counts: period A 6 errors / 40 tasks; period B 4 / 50. Calculate rates, percentage-point difference and relative reduction. Verify with a calculator or spreadsheet and keep the formula. STEPS 1. Compute each rate using its own denominator. 2. Calculate the two change measures separately. 3. Write a supported sentence and name a comparability concern. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA - Rates are 15% and 8%. - Decrease is 7 percentage points; relative reduction is approximately 46.7%. - Do not infer causation or silently equate task difficulty. EXPLAIN YOUR APPROACH What would you inspect before attributing the change to AI? Keep your artifact, corrections, evidence and limitations yourself. Self-review is not independent assessment. No paid model calls are required. Review notes: /paths/analysis/03/#practice
