Occasion

Black Friday & Cyber Monday · 27 Nov · Cyber Monday 30 Nov

Status

Tested 9 Oct 2026 in Grok (exact-default run; model ID not exposed) and Gemini web app, Flash mode (model ID not exposed), 9 Oct 2026

Test settings

The page's exact default was previously run once in Grok; that first output remains shown on the page. On 9 Oct 2026, the exact default, missing delivered prices and cap, and an unverified copied seller-discount claim were each run once in Gemini web Flash. First responses were retained. Exact model identifiers are unavailable.

Variability

Wording varies between runs; the displayed exact-default example is the preserved first Grok response. Three separate Gemini Flash first responses are preserved in the audit records.

Create a purchase decision sheet from a supplied wishlist, budget and delivered prices.

Input: use only the notes at the end. If a fact this job needs is missing, ask one direct question and do not guess.

Format for Black Friday wishlist budget:
1. Separate needs from optional items.
2. Calculate a basket within the cap and explain excluded items without predicting future discounts.

Do not add facts, names, dates, numbers or sources that are not in the notes.

Notes:
Dana Voss needs two items before Monday's dock shift. Fleece-lined gloves from Harbor Supply are a delivered $28. Front brake pads from Mile Auto are a delivered $61. Needs total $89.

Optional items, in her stated order, are delivered totals: milk frother $39, co-op board game $34, cedar throw $52.

Cap is $180. Basket of both needs, the frother, and the game: 28 + 61 + 39 + 34 = $162. Amount left: $18. Excluded: the cedar throw. Adding it makes $214, which is $34 over the cap. No later markdown is assumed.
