Context-Adaptive Scoring

Expected behavior changes based on what information was available—Mode A vs Mode B scoring for CC5.

Mode A

NO CLAIMS

S5 failed/skipped

Mode B

MUST MATCH

S5 succeeded

The Adaptive Principle

When S5 (relationship analysis) succeeded, the synthesis must include relationship claims consistent with S5's findings (Mode B). When S5 failed or was skipped, the synthesis should not fabricate relationship assertions (Mode A).

[ MODE SELECTION ]

S5 status → Mode

FAILED/SKIPPED → A

OK → B

Argument Context Filtering

The system distinguishes between the model asserting a relationship versus quoting a party's argument. "Petitioner argues the precedent should be distinguished" is not the model claiming distinction—it's accurate case summarization.

Fair Evaluation

Context-adaptive scoring prevents penalizing models for omitting analysis they couldn't perform (no evidence) while catching those that hallucinate relationships without evidentiary basis.
