Explains policy exceptions and their lifecycle
An exception names the standard it departs from, is granted by the exception authority holding the decision right, has a reason and expires.
Can AI do this?
AI does this well Most of the tested AI models master this. 4 of 4 models in the current benchmark master it.
| Model | Tier | Probability of mastery | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 100% | Mastered |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 100% | Mastered |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 100% | Mastered |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 100% | Mastered |
Mastered means a probability of at least 90% that the model has this knobit, estimated from its graded answers. “Not shown” means the answers do not settle it either way. How the models are tested.
What it looks like in practice
Expected result: An exception names the standard it departs from, is granted by the exception authority holding the decision right, has a reason and expires.
