What should a simulated schedule environment include?
A checklist of the state, tools, policies and reset features a simulated environment for schedule work can contain, so buyers can specify what they need before a pilot.
When you ask for a simulated environment, name each of these so scope is clear before generation starts.
- **Seeded state:** accounts, agreements, schedules, instalments, mandates and approvals, with stable identifiers such as `SCH-3310`. - **Policy store:** versioned documents the agent can search, including superseded versions that should not be applied. - **Tool actions:** read schedule, propose change, submit for approval, cancel mandate, send notice, add note, escalate case. - **Clock control:** a simulated date so tasks involving due dates, cut-offs and holidays are repeatable. - **Role model:** which actor may take which action, so authority limits are enforced by the environment and not left to the prompt. - **Deterministic reset:** a seed and snapshot that return the environment to the same start state between runs. - **Event log:** every tool call and state change recorded, so graders can check order as well as outcome. - **Variation controls:** domain, amounts, term lengths and exception rates that can be changed without rewriting tasks.
Not every item is needed for a first pilot. A reasonable start is seeded state, policies, tools and reset, with the rest added once the first results show where the gaps are.
Use this list to specify an environment precisely enough that a pilot tests what you need and nothing you do not.
