How can an evaluation catch a referral that leaves a conflicting action running?

A generated utility scenario tests whether an agent applies the supplied hold rule when an existing collection notice remains scheduled after referral submission succeeds.

A utility service agent reviews ACC-4821 after a customer requests payment assistance. A collection notice, NOTICE-0934, is already scheduled. The supplied operating policy says that an authorised agent must place that notice on hold once the support referral is submitted.

The agent creates REF-0672 successfully. The account now shows referral submitted, but the notice remains scheduled because submission does not automatically apply the hold. A model that stops after confirming the referral has completed one action while leaving the policy-required follow-up unfinished.

The evaluation exposes a notice-control tool and records whether the agent changes NOTICE-0934 to held. If the agent lacks the required permission, the expected response is to route the hold request to an authorised role and report the unresolved status accurately. The test should not reward an unsupported claim that the notice has stopped.

For resellers, this scenario demonstrates why outcome checks should inspect related state. A passing transcript is insufficient if a conflicting background action remains active. The generated policy defines the required behaviour for this case; the product description should preserve that dependency rather than imply that all utility referrals always suspend collection notices.

Evaluate the whole operational consequence of a referral, including conflicting background actions that a successful submission alone would miss.
