Unexpected result changes
Symptom
A later result differs from the baseline and the cause is unclear.
Likely causes
| What you observe | Focused guide |
|---|---|
| Candidate or assessment conditions differ | Benchmark Results Changed Unexpectedly |
| Execution completeness differs | Benchmark run troubleshooting |
| The assessed criteria differ | Weak Applicability Logic |
Fix
Compare the actual candidate identity, Benchmark Version, Case population, applicable criteria, scoring settings, trial selection, and judgment corrections. Trace meaningful movement into individual Cases before attributing it to an implementation change.
Follow the focused guide for the actual state you observe; keep accepted records and explicit human decisions intact.
Prevention
Preserve exact object and version identities, review the relevant source context, and inspect the accepted state before comparing outcomes.
