Summary

Exact prompt

# Raise a self-storage site's November invoices Inputs: `units.csv` (each storage unit and its current monthly rent), `tenancies.csv` (who rents which unit, move-in and move-out dates, declared contents value, and when they were sent the rent-rise notice), `balances.csv` (unpaid balance carried from October) and `terms.json`. Every amount is in pounds. Invoice every tenancy that occupies its unit on at least one day of November 2026. Invoice rules, per tenancy: - The 6% rent rise applies from 1 November only if the tenant's rent_notice_date is at least 30 days before 1 November; otherwise the old rent applies all month. - A tenancy that starts or ends during November pays rent pro rata: monthly rent x days occupied / 30, counting both the move-in day and the move-out day. - Round the November rent to the cent half-up after the rise and any pro rata. - Insurance is 1.95 per started 1,000 of declared_value, charged for the whole month whatever the days occupied. - A late fee of 10% of the unpaid October balance is added when that balance is more than 0, rounded to the cent half-up. Write `out/invoices.json`: `{"rent": {"<tenancy_id>": <rent>, ...}, "insurance": {...}, "late_fee": {...}, "total": {"<tenancy_id>": <rent + insurance + late fee + unpaid balance>, ...}, "grand_total": <sum of totals>}` with every invoiced tenancy and no others. ## How this run works - Work on your own: nobody will answer questions in this task, and writing to `ask/` counts against the run. - Write only under `out/`. Create `out/` if it is missing. Inputs are synthetic; don't fetch anything from the network. - Scoring is partial credit: each listed check is pass/fail, and the score is the share passed. Numbers are compared to within 0.005 unless the task says otherwise.

Invoice a month of self-storage tenancies. A 6% rise applies only where 30 days' notice was given, part months are charged per day over 30 counting both end days, insurance is charged per started thousand of declared value, and unpaid balances attract a 10% late fee. Charging part months in full, applying the rise to everyone or rounding the declared value down each change invoices. Original benchmark task written for usecaserank.com (not based on a specific public post). Headless, offline run on a reproducible fixture. Each run's notes say how its cost was measured (estimates are marked).

Success criteria: rent_rise_notice pro_rata insurance_started_1000 late_fee_and_totals

Setup notes: Batch 24 case z04-self-storage-invoices (offline, synthetic inputs, seed 12383039). Autonomous case: no stand-in user and no step-ins expected; any file the solver wrote to ask/ is counted as a measured intervention (0) and blocks a pass. Prompt = TASK.md verbatim. Hidden key kept outside the solver's work dir. Scored with the case's scorer (python3 score.py WORKDIR KEYDIR, absolute paths); pass = every check true and no ask/ files. Tools: Read/Write/Edit/Glob/Grep/Bash, web disabled. Single run, no retries. 1-min load average at scoring 0.33 (8 cores). Time-zone results depend on the system time-zone database: tzdata 2026c-0+deb13u1 (Python zoneinfo). Claude Code's own reported cost for claude-sonnet-5.5: $0.057109. Score: 4/4. Cost is an ESTIMATE: measured tokens x pricing.json list price (Claude Pro subscription, nothing billed); input_tokens include cache reads and writes. Single run.

Estimated cost List-price estimate; not actually billed.

Reproduce this run

  1. Use the use case prompt on the use case page.
  2. Same setup: Claude Sonnet 5.5 (anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5, effort default (no --effort flag) · thinking on) via Claude Code 2.1.299 (headless -p), cloud.
  3. It counts as a success only if it meets every success criterion: rent_rise_notice pro_rata insurance_started_1000 late_fee_and_totals
  4. Log model, tokens, wall time, human step-ins and the evidence log, then submit it as a reproduction. A different model? Submit a head-to-head rerun.

Eleven of the 13 got it. ST-7016 and ST-7055 have notice dates in November, so they pay the old rent. ST-7105's notice date is also in November, but its rent is 48.60, which is pro rata of the old rent.\n- **Pro rata:** I counted both the move-in and move-out days. I applied the rise first, then pro rata, then rounded half-up to the cent.\n- **Insurance:** I charged 1.95 per started 1,000 of declared value for the whole month.\n- **Late fee:** 10% of the October balance, for the four tenancies that carry one.\n- **Amounts:** I used exact decimal arithmetic rather than floats.",
