What should a buyer inspect about grounding before accepting a generated sample?
A sample review should examine how operational grounding shapes generated handovers and whether the resulting content carries unwanted disclosure risks.
Request review material that makes the proposed grounding approach understandable without requiring delivery of real business records.
- Ask which workflow mechanisms inform generation, such as escalation rules or handover rejection patterns. - Ask how those mechanisms are transformed into generated roles, records and event sequences. - Request a clear distinction between structural grounding and any use of source wording. - Inspect generated free text for unexpected names, contact details or unusually specific operational references. - Review whether combinations of details could expose sensitive context despite individual fields appearing ordinary. - Ask how flagged material would be investigated, revised and checked again within the proposed scope. - Record unresolved grounding questions alongside the sample acceptance decision.
The purpose is to assess whether the sample captures useful business behaviour while keeping the commercial output generated. Realism alone is not sufficient evidence: a distinctive phrase may add little evaluation value while deserving closer inspection.
Generated material does not guarantee anonymity or regulatory approval. Keep disclosure review separate from task-quality scoring, so a convincing handover scenario is not accepted solely because it produces a challenging agent evaluation.
Inspect the relationship between operational grounding and generated output before approving a wider scope.
