# SYNTHETIC EXAMPLE — AI Cost & Quality Diagnostic
Client: Synthetic example only · Workflow: Demonstration report review · Period: Example reporting period
Fixed-scope service price: $750 USD. This report is not an invoice or proof of payment.

# AI Cost & Quality Diagnostic — baseline

## Baseline
Source: supplied CSV; amounts are unverified inputs in USD for one reporting period.

## Calculations
| Provider | Supplied cost | Tokens | Observed cost / million | CSV records |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---|
| Synthetic Provider | $100.00 | 5000000 | $20.00 | 2 |

Total supplied cost: $100.00.

## Recommendation
Savings: unavailable. Different monthly volumes, input/output mix, caching and quality do not establish an equivalent workload comparison.

## Quality gate
Next delivery steps: select one repeatable workflow; obtain approved examples and expected outputs; agree mandatory quality gates; measure the same cases on each candidate; reject candidates that fail any mandatory gate.

## Handoff
Human reviewer: verify input period, costs and token definitions; complete comparable quality tests before sending approved findings to Signal. No handoff has been executed.
This report is a baseline deliverable within the five-working-day diagnostic. It is not the completed quality evaluation or a recommendation to change production.

## Human-scored quality evidence
Reviewer attestation: Synthetic reviewer placeholder. This name is user-supplied, not an authenticated approval record.
Sample: 10; passed: 9; critical failures: 1; recorded review effort: 20.0 minutes.

| DEMO-10 | pass | no | SYNTHETIC fixture 10 - assumed pass for template demonstration |

Sample gate: Revision required; do not recommend activation.
A finite sample does not establish general reliability. Customer acceptance and any activation are separate decisions.

## Limitations and unresolved questions
All amounts and scores are invented fixtures for demonstrating the delivery format. No actual customer work or independent quality review occurred. Case DEMO-3 illustrates why a critical failure prevents activation.

## Recommendation
Retain current routing until equivalent-workload quality, total delivery cost, and customer acceptance are established. No savings are promised.

## Delivery acceptance
Reviewer checks every material claim against the source, supplies the underlying evidence, and walks through the findings with the customer. Record the customer’s acceptance or requested revision separately.
