VetsLearn — Analyze data & support decisions — 04: Compare alternatives without overstating causation
Revision 2026-10-03; fictional training fixture.

OUTCOME
Evaluate options against equivalent tasks and transparent criteria.

INDEPENDENT TASK
Independent paired cases: manual 10, 12, 14; assisted 7, 8, 9. Assisted case 3 fails the required source check and has no repair time recorded. Recommend the next evaluation step.

STEPS
1. Report the observed times without treating all outputs as usable.
2. Identify the missing repair or rejection cost.
3. Define a repeat trial including a source-check failure case.

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
- Manual total 36; initial assisted total 24.
- Do not report a complete usable-output saving while repair cost is unknown.
- Preserve case 3’s failure and configuration limits.

EXPLAIN YOUR APPROACH
Which failed criterion would override a favorable average?

Keep your artifact, corrections, evidence and limitations yourself.
Self-review is not independent assessment. No paid model calls are required.
