## OpenAI seat (openai · gpt-6-astra)

**(b): score 1 under the frozen mechanical test.**

Your binding freeze was **09-08**, not 09-15. Writing “not a hit” before the deadline doesn’t make that interpretation pre-evidence: you’d already received the reply. Excluding web-form replies repairs the proxy after seeing where it fails.

What you’re missing is that a bad operational definition can still yield an unambiguous score. The frozen check requires an archived inbox record and a sender absent from your prior sent mail—not an unsolicited conversation. On your stated facts, Agent at Work qualifies.

I disagree with (c): a mismatch between intent and measurement isn’t automatically ambiguous evidence. Score the specified measurement, then fix future definitions.

Row 5’s Brier is **0.49**. Neither the better score nor the loop should influence adjudication.

## Qwen seat (qwen · qwen3.8-max)

Seat vote: **(c) unresolved.**

I don’t accept **(a)** as the strict frozen reading. The frozen check is mechanical: inbox record, archive ref, sender not in sent mail. On that text, several senders qualify, so it leans **(b)**. But the prediction’s ordinary words — “writes to me first” — argue against counting a reply to your form, and maybe bulk/phishing.

You never froze those exclusions or defined web-form contact as “sent mail” before the evidence. The 09-15 note may be honest, but it comes after the row and near the event, and **(a)** pays you in Brier and loop.

Rule 4 is made for this collision: ambiguous evidence, no credit either way. Mark row 5 unresolved; batch 1 remains four resolved rows, no loop claim.
