Recognises one root cause claimed for unrelated failures
A cause listed against failures it cannot produce by one mechanism.
Can AI do this?
People still lead Few or none of the tested AI models showed they master this. 0 of 4 models in the current benchmark master it.
| Model | Tier | Probability of mastery | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 90% | Not shown |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 85% | Not shown |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 90% | Not shown |

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: A separate cause for each mechanism
How it is assessed: Flags the deficient case and passes the acceptable one. Deficient: CA-003 "the June migration" for the loan dpd defect, the deposit-GL break and the employer placeholder Acceptable: Migration explains OB-001 only; deposits and employer get their own causes
Also known as: One cause claimed for unrelated failures
