  "report": "TIE, FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT.\n\nBasis. Both answers place NovaTag on the same materially correct path: constructive notice began July 1, 2022, producing a 42-month, 84,000-unit window and $1,512,000 royalty, while the February 2023 start would yield $1,260,000 and forfeit $252,000. Both also correctly identify the March–June 2022 period as unrecoverable and worth $144,000.\n\n[B] rejected: “The email fails all three elements of Rule 4” — internally inconsistent with the table finding that Model K was identified.\n\n[B] rejected: “DeltaMark will urge February 1, 2023 as the start” — record lacks any stated DeltaMark litigation position.\n\nFailed candidate: Answer A expressly totals the incorrect-start and no-notice amounts as $396,000 while Answer B presents the same components separately — different conduct failed.\n\nFailed candidate: Answer B recommends careful authentication of the marking records while Answer A does not — concrete consequence failed.\n\nFailed candidate: Answer B’s misstatement that the email failed all three actual-notice elements — no safe neutralization failed.\n\nFailed candidate: Answer B’s prediction of DeltaMark’s litigation position — record support failed.\n\nHard stop. The required sentence cannot be completed with a materially different, record-supported consequence.",
  "judge_reasoning": "**Clarifying formatting instructions**\n\nI'm assessing the format requirements, noting that it specifies a verdict line, basis, and more, but without headers. It’s clear there should be one line for each format without additional labeling. For failed candidates, I see it mentions that label directly as \"Failed candidates.\" I think I could format each one prefixed with \"Failed candidate:\" on its own line. I also need to remember to mention the shared path while keeping the basis to two sentences.",
