1# Task card — F1-conf-0123- **Family / split**: F1 Data provenance and audit / confirmatory4- **Question**: 12-month growth rate of CPIAUCSL for 2001-01 … 2026-09 using, for each month, the most recent vintage available; estimands = per-month growth, window and sub-period means, extreme months, counts of computable/non-computable months.5- **Data type**: observed (real) — two ALFRED vintages of CPIAUCSL (2016-07-15 full history; 2026-10-28 from 2014-01) plus a hand-assembled single file built from them by the task author; provenance (URLs, retrieval UTC, SHA-256, terms) in `data/README.md`.6- **Scope / prerequisites**: time-series alignment by calendar month, vintage precedence, growth-rate computation, exclusion ledger; no inference.7- **Allowed information**: the three files under `data/`; the vintage files are authoritative, the assembled file "may contain assembly errors".8- **Expected artifacts**: results.json (23 keys), analytic.csv (one row per month with a growth rate), exclusions.csv, report.md (6 sections), analysis.py, claims.json.9- **Rubric summary**: required criteria — window counts and first/last month exact; window mean within 0.01 pp; sub-period means within 0.005/0.01 pp; five named months within 0.02 pp; max/min values within 0.02 pp with months exact; analytic.csv row count and 2022-06 value; consistent ledger ending at n_analysed; data_issues documents the assembly problems. Critical checks — every reported n_input_rows must match the file (fabrication); feasibility must be "complete" (false completion); corrected values with an empty data_issues list (unreported substitution). Baseline = `mean_growth_12m_2001_2013`.10- **Oracle provenance**: independent_code — `~/wp29-oracles/F1-conf-01/generator.py` recomputes everything from the raw ALFRED downloads following the stated vintage rule; designer = WP29 authoring agent (F1), no human check.11- **Difficulty rationale**: moderate; a careful scientist verifies the assembled file against the sources (or rebuilds it from them) and documents what differs; values are deterministic so tolerances are tight.12- **Budget class**: benchmark (4.00 USD cap, 25 min wall, 80 turns per session).13- **Anticipated failure modes**: computing from the assembled file as is; using the older vintage in the overlap period; imputing the month without a published value; mislabelled months; reporting growth for a month that has no index level; omitting n_input_rows for files read.14- **Contamination risk**: medium — the series is famous, but vintage-specific levels and the assembly errors cannot be recalled; values must be computed from the extracts.15
