What limits should buyers place on claims of business realism?

**Does operational grounding mean a release represents every business?**

No. Organisations differ in authority structures, software behaviour, record quality and exceptions. A believable follow-up case can still be a poor match for the environment in which a buyer intends to use an agent.

**What should an evaluation team ask for?**

Ask for an explicit coverage statement describing the operating assumptions, domain boundaries and omitted conditions. Distinguish observed operational patterns used to inform generation from buyer-specified rules and deliberately constructed stress cases. The commercial output remains generated material, rather than source business records.

**Can stress cases establish how often failures occur in practice?**

Not by themselves. A pack designed to concentrate difficult exceptions does not establish their prevalence in a deployment setting. Buyers should avoid interpreting the frequency of generated cases as an estimate of business incidence unless that interpretation has a separate, defensible basis.

MirrorFirm could scope a release around a defined operating model and document departures from it. A useful first step is to compare that model with the buyer's intended evaluation setting. Treat gaps as explicit limits on conclusions or as candidates for a later extension, rather than silently generalising across them.
