What is the difference between a dataset, a task pack and a simulated environment?

Answers to common questions about what each product form contains for authority-limited approvals, how policies are provided, and how awkward cases are handled.

**What is the difference between a dataset, a task pack and a simulated environment?** A dataset is a set of linked tables: roles, authority matrix, requests, delegations, decisions and exceptions. A task pack adds prompts with a starting state and an expected outcome, so behaviour can be scored. A simulated environment adds tool actions and a reset, so an agent can act and the state changes.

**Are policies provided as text or as structured data?** Both can be. The matrix is structured for checking, and a matching prose policy supports retrieval and reading-comprehension tasks. Ask for the two to be consistent and test a sample.

**Do the records include awkward cases?** A release can include over-limit requests, requests split to stay under a limit, revoked delegations, urgent overrides and approvals that were later reversed. Ask for these to be labelled.

**Can the domain be changed?** Yes. The same structure can be set in insurance, procurement, utilities, healthcare administration or professional services, with vocabulary and limits that fit each. Scope one domain first.

**Do records contain personal names?** Records and examples use roles and identifiers such as `REQ-4410`, not names. The content is generated and is not real business records, but you should still inspect a sample for grounding and disclosure risk.

Choosing the right form up front keeps the pilot small: tables for analysis, task packs for scoring, environments for agents that act.
