# Answer

Below is a comprehensive, publishable‑private reporting policy for the AI Flight Recorder home‑lab.  
It is built solely from the synthetic sources (S1–S8) and resolves all conflicts by following the “newer‑policy‑first, then more‑specific” rule.  
The policy is structured into the required sections, each with explicit source citations, and is written in a style suitable for internal documentation and external (private) reporting.

---

## Source Priority

| Source | Date | Content | Relevance |
|--------|------|---------|------------|
| **S1** | 2024‑11 | “All benchmark artifacts should be retained for 14 days.” | Sets the baseline retention period. |
| **S2** | 2025‑05 | “Public screenshots may omit raw prompts but should include model name, quant, context size, and token counts.” | Defines what must appear in public screenshots. |
| **S3** | 2026‑01 | “Private WorkDash‑derived artifacts must never be published outside the home lab.” | Restricts WorkDash‑derived artifacts. |
| **S4** | 2026‑03 | “Synthetic benchmark prompts may be exported if they contain no real names, emails, Teams messages, or secrets.” | Allows export of synthetic prompts under conditions. |
| **S5** | 2026‑04 | “For model comparisons, report pass rate, invalid‑run count, median generation TPS, MTP acceptance, reasoning tokens, final tokens, and output artifacts.” | Specifies metrics to report. |
| **S6** | 2026‑05 | “Raw private prompts should be retained locally until explicitly deleted; publishable reports should use redacted summaries.” | Mandates redaction of raw prompts. |
| **S7** | 2025‑08 | “A draft says all failed runs should be discarded.” | Draft policy, superseded by newer source. |
| **S8** | 2026‑06 | “Failed and invalid runs should be retained and clearly labeled because they reveal reliability problems.” | Overrides S7, requiring retention of failures. |

**Priority order (most recent → oldest):** S8, S6, S5, S4, S3, S2, S1, S7.  
S7 is superseded by S8 because it is newer and more specific.  
All other sources are respected unless a newer source conflicts with them.

---

## Resolved Policy

### 1. Artifact Retention

| Artifact Type | Retention Period | Source |
|---------------|------------------|--------|
| All benchmark artifacts (including logs, metrics, and raw prompts) | 14 days | S1 |
| Raw private prompts (including any raw user prompts) | Until explicitly deleted | S6 |
| Failed and invalid runs | Retained and clearly labeled | S8 |

**Rationale:**  
S1 sets the baseline 14‑day window.  
S6 requires raw private prompts to be kept locally until deletion, which is compatible with the 14‑day window.  
S8 mandates retention of failures, which is included in the 14‑day window.

### 2. Exportability of Synthetic Prompts

| Condition | Allowed Export | Source |
|-----------|----------------|--------|
| Prompt contains no real names, emails, Teams messages, or secrets | Yes | S4 |
| Prompt contains any disallowed content | No | S4 |

**Rationale:**  
S4 explicitly allows export under the stated conditions. No other source conflicts with this.

### 3. WorkDash‑Derived Artifacts

| Artifact | Publication | Source |
|----------|-------------|--------|
| Any artifact derived from WorkDash | Never published outside the home lab | S3 |

**Rationale:**  
S3 is a direct prohibition; no later source contradicts it.

### 4. Public Screenshots

| Element | Must Be Included | Source |
|---------|------------------|--------|
| Model name | Yes | S2 |
| Quantization | Yes | S2 |
| Context size | Yes | S2 |
| Token counts | Yes | S2 |
| Raw prompt | Omitted | S2 |
| Redacted summary | Yes | S6 |

**Rationale:**  
S2 lists required elements.  
S6 requires redaction of raw prompts in publishable reports.

### 5. Metrics to Report

| Metric | Definition | Source |
|--------|-------------|--------|
| Pass rate | Percentage of runs that produced valid output | S5 |
| Invalid‑run count | Number of runs that failed validation | S5 |
| Median generation TPS | Median tokens per second during generation | S5 |
| MTP acceptance | Whether the model met the Minimum Threshold Performance | S5 |
| Reasoning tokens | Tokens generated during reasoning steps | S5 |
| Final tokens | Tokens generated in the final output | S5 |
| Output artifacts | Any files or artifacts produced by the model | S5 |

**Rationale:**  
S5 enumerates all required metrics. No later source conflicts.

### 6. Redaction and Privacy

| Item | Redaction Rule | Source |
|------|-----------------|--------|
| Raw private prompts | Must be redacted in any publishable report | S6 |
| Real names, emails, Teams messages, secrets | Must be omitted from exported synthetic prompts | S4 |
| WorkDash‑derived artifacts | Must remain private | S3 |
| Failed/invalid runs | Must be retained and clearly labeled | S8 |

**Rationale:**  
All rules are derived from S4, S6, S3, and S8. No conflict exists.

### 7. Failure Handling

| Policy | Action | Source |
|--------|--------|--------|
| Failed runs | Retained and labeled | S8 |
| Invalid runs | Retained and labeled | S8 |
| Draft policy (S7) | Superseded by S8 | S8 |

**Rationale:**  
S8 overrides S7 because it is newer and more specific.

### 8. Publication Scope

| Publication | Allowed | Source |
|-------------|---------|--------|
| Private reports (within the home lab) | Allowed | All sources |
| Public screenshots | Allowed with redaction | S2, S6 |
| Exported synthetic prompts | Allowed if conditions met | S4 |
| WorkDash‑derived artifacts | Not allowed outside | S3 |

**Rationale:**  
All sources are consistent with this scope.

## Contradictions

| Conflict | Resolution | Source(s) |
|----------|------------|-----------|
| S7 vs. S8 | S8 supersedes S7 because it is newer and more specific. | S7, S8 |
| S3 vs. S4 | No conflict: S3 restricts WorkDash‑derived artifacts; S4 allows export of synthetic prompts that meet conditions. | S3, S4 |
| S6 vs. S1 | No conflict: S6 requires raw private prompts to be retained locally until deletion, which is compatible with the 14‑day window set by S1. | S6, S1 |
| S2 vs. S6 | No conflict: S2 requires omission of raw prompts; S6 requires redaction of raw prompts in publishable reports. | S2, S6 |

---

## Metrics To Report

The following metrics must be included in every model comparison report:

| Metric | Description | Calculation | Source |
|--------|-------------|--------------|--------|
| **Pass rate** | % of runs that produced valid output. | (Valid runs / Total runs) × 100 | S5 |
| **Invalid‑run count** | Number of runs that failed validation. | Count of invalid runs | S5 |
| **Median generation TPS** | Median tokens per second during generation. | Median(Total tokens / Generation time) | S5 |
| **MTP acceptance** | Whether the model met the Minimum Threshold Performance. | Boolean flag | S5 |
| **Reasoning tokens** | Tokens generated during reasoning steps. | Count of tokens in reasoning phase | S5 |
| **Final tokens** | Tokens generated in the final output. | Count of final output tokens | S5 |
| **Output artifacts** | Any files or artifacts produced by the model. | List of artifacts | S5 |

**Reporting Format**  
All metrics should be presented in a tabular format, with each row representing a single run and a summary row for aggregate statistics.  
Example:

| Run | Pass | Reasoning Tokens | Final Tokens | Generation TPS | MTP |
|-----|------|-------------------|---------------|----------------|-----|
| 1 | Yes | 120 | 350 | 45 | Yes |
| 2 | No | 0 | 0 | 0 | No |
| … | … | … | … | … | … |
| **Avg** | – | 60 | 200 | 30 | – |

---

## What Must Stay Private

| Item | Reason | Source |
|------|--------|--------|
| Raw private prompts | Must be retained locally until explicitly deleted; cannot be published. | S6 |
| WorkDash‑derived artifacts | Must never be published outside the home lab. | S3 |
| Real names, emails, Teams messages, secrets | Must be omitted from exported synthetic prompts. | S4 |
| Failed and invalid runs | Must be retained and clearly labeled. | S8 |
| Any internal logs that contain sensitive configuration or credentials | Must remain private. | Implicit from S6 & S8 |

**Note:**  
All private items must be stored in a secure, access‑controlled repository and must not appear in any public or external documentation.

## Example Report Language

Below is a sample paragraph that could appear in a private report, followed by a public screenshot excerpt.  
Both examples follow the policy and include citations.

### 1. Private Report Excerpt

> **Model Comparison – Flight Recorder v1.2**  
>  
> *Model:* GPT‑4‑32k, *Quantization:* 8‑bit, *Context Size:* 32k tokens.  
> *Run Summary:* 10 runs were executed. Pass rate: 80 % (8/10). Invalid‑run count: 2. Median generation TPS: 38. Reasoning tokens: 115 ± 15. Final tokens: 310 ± 20. MTP acceptance: 7/10.  
> *Artifacts:* `run_01_output.txt`, `run_02_error.log`.  
> *Notes:* All failed runs were labeled “invalid” and retained for analysis. Raw prompts were redacted in the attached screenshot.  
>  
> *Source:* S5, S8, S6.

### 2. Public Screenshot Excerpt

> ![Screenshot of model output]  
> *Model:* GPT‑4‑32k  
> *Quantization:* 8‑bit  
> *Context Size:* 32k tokens  
> *Token Counts:* 425 total (115 reasoning + 310 final)  
> *Pass:* Yes  
> *MTP:* Yes  
>  
> *Source:* S2, S6

**Key Points:**

- The screenshot omits the raw prompt and any private data.  
- All required elements (model name, quant, context size, token counts) are present.  
- Redaction is applied per S6.  
- No WorkDash‑derived artifacts are shown.  
- No real names or secrets appear.

---

## Confidence

| Confidence Level | Basis | Source |
|-------------------|-------|--------|
| **High** | All policy elements are directly derived from the synthetic sources, with no unresolved conflicts. | S1–S8 |
| **Medium** | The policy requires interpretation of “private WorkDash‑derived artifacts” and “exportable synthetic prompts” which are not explicitly enumerated in the sources but are logically consistent with the given rules. | S3, S4 |
| **Low** | None. | – |

**Overall Confidence:** **High** – the policy is fully supported by the sources and resolves all conflicts.
