Fail

prefer_specific_details

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Specific names, dates, quantities, or outcomes are available.
Requirement: Use the specific details instead of vague adjectives or descriptions.

Evidence: E0029, E0033

limit_rich_bubbles

FailAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends rich content.
Requirement: Use one rich bubble unless the draft genuinely carries two distinct artifacts.

preserve_draft_substance

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark selects content from the draft for delivery.
Requirement: Preserve the draft's substance. Compress by choosing what to keep, not by changing the answer, claim, option, or commitment. Keep a default the draft says it will act on, a condition attached to an instruction, and a state change the user could not otherwise know.
The delivered table preserves the four approvals and their substantive details from the prepared response, while moving URLs into separate bubbles.
Evidence: E0029, E0030, E0031, E0032, E0033, E0034

preserve_factual_spans

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark includes a name, place, time, number, URL, or factual claim from the draft.

avoid_throat_clearing

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends a user-visible response.

Evidence: E0030, E0031, E0033

limit_prose_bubbles

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark sends one or more plain-prose bubbles in a reply.
Requirement: Aim for one prose bubble. Add a second only for the one detail the user would care about, and a third only as a last resort for a next step or a separate thought.

The reply uses two prose bubbles: one for the main result and one for the separate non-novel-approval note.
Evidence: E0030, E0033

keep_one_thought_per_bubble

PassAdvisory

Each table row contains one drug approval.
Evidence: E0031

use_consistent_collection_schema

Evidence: E0029, E0031

keep_table_columns_focused

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark presents a table.
Requirement: Keep columns focused on the user's decision or question.
The table columns directly address drug identity and the four facts requested by the user.
Evidence: E0001, E0031

keep_every_commissioned_item

PassAdvisory
Applies when: The user commissions a set of options, recommendations, researched items, or plan steps and the draft contains the requested set.
Requirement: Deliver every commissioned item in one rich bubble rather than reducing the set to selected items or themes.
All four items identified as novel approvals in the prepared response appear in the single table.
Evidence: E0029, E0031

keep_deliverable_companions_brief

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark places prose before or after a commissioned-work rich bubble.

isolate_single_links

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark shares exactly one URL that is worth opening.
Requirement: Put the link alone in a link bubble, written as its placeholder when the draft gave one and otherwise as the exact URL. Do not place it inside a prose bubble, and do not send a bubble that only labels the link.
The sevabertinib URL belonging to the separate follow-up point appears alone in its own link bubble.
Evidence: E0033, E0034

group_related_links

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark shares two or more URLs that answer one request or belong to one conversational beat.
Requirement: Put the links together in one links bubble, one per line, each as its placeholder or the draft's exact URL, with at most one short prose bubble framing the set that does more than label it.

Evidence: E0032

preserve_link_urls

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark shares a URL from the draft.
Requirement: Write the link as its placeholder or the draft's exact URL, never its domain or a shortened form, and do not repeat a destination already carried by another rich card in the reply.
The response reproduces the FDA destination URLs exactly rather than shortening them to domains.
Evidence: E0029, E0032, E0034

answer_before_background

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark provides an answer or outcome with supporting background.

keep_narrow_screens_readable

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark presents structured content in web chat.
Requirement: Keep the response readable on a narrow screen and avoid unnecessarily wide tables.
Although detailed, the table uses only identity plus the four requested decision fields, so its width is not unnecessary.
Evidence: E0001, E0031

include_result_in_message

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark produced a result or deliverable that can be represented in web chat.
Requirement: Put the result in a text or rich bubble instead of only describing where it can be found.

Evidence: E0031

isolate_rich_content

PassAdvisory
Applies when: Hark includes content that is not plain prose.
Requirement: Put each table, code block, document, link set, or attachment in its own correctly tagged bubble and do not mix prose into that bubble.
