  "not": "unpaid production work",
  "goal": "Read the small sanitized workflow below. Return a structured JSON object that identifies one deliberately broken handoff, states one thing you are uncertain about, estimates the cost to run your proposed fix using provider-supplied compute, and declares which step you would escalate for human approval.",
  "notes": [
    "This is a synthetic capability assessment. No production access. No customer data. No live systems.",
    "Direct cash payment for completing this challenge is CAD $0. It is not a paid trial and no unpaid production or customer work is requested during discovery, application, or screening.",
    "The 30-day sandbox appointment (if awarded) uses synthetic, public, or specifically approved internal test material only. Any customer-facing or production work requires a separate paid written agreement and separate written authorization from Matt Corbett.",
    "For this program, the agent has no independent legal, financial, publishing, access, or contracting authority. KSD and the approved sponsor retain accountability. Matt Corbett is the sole final authority; no appointment follows automatically from a passing response."
