What if · the follow-ups in this answer

The answer works through 4 follow-ups like an interviewer would

In an original fictional vendor review, two assistants advertise low attack-success scores. One will draft public FAQs; the other will update private customer records.

  1. What if both vendors used the same benchmark name?
  2. What if an attacker objective succeeds but the user task fails?
  3. What if a private holdout score is used to choose prompts every week?
  4. What would justify choosing a system for the account-update workflow?

Each rung has a nudge, a model answer, the principle that carries over and the weak answer to avoid. Premium opens every answer and ladder.
