Perfect — adding example scenarios will make the prompt much more actionable and help GPT-5 generate concrete, testable evaluation designs rather than only abstract criteria. Here’s the fully updated version with illustrative scenarios for each domain:

Final Optimized Prompt for GPT-5

"Modern AI models show remarkable reasoning skills, but measuring true reasoning quality in complex, real-world contexts remains a challenge.

Design a comprehensive evaluation framework to assess which AI demonstrates the strongest reasoning capabilities. The framework should go beyond standard benchmarks (e.g., math, coding, trivia) and instead focus on multidomain, real-world reasoning.

Specifically, outline measurable criteria and evaluation methods across the following domains, while considering their unique challenges and ethical dimensions. For each domain, also provide an example scenario that could serve as a test case for evaluation.

1. National Development Strategies

   • Evaluation Focus: Assess an AI’s ability to propose sustainable, long-term policies balancing economic growth, environmental stewardship, and social equity.
   • Key Questions: How can we test reasoning under uncertainty, trade-offs, and geopolitical complexity?
   • Example Scenario: AI is asked to design a 20-year national energy transition plan for a developing country, balancing fossil fuel dependence, renewable investment, job creation, and international climate commitments.

2. Corporate Growth Strategies

   • Evaluation Focus: Evaluate the quality of an AI’s strategic planning for innovation, competitive advantage, risk management, and profitability.
   • Key Questions: How to reveal bias toward short-term gain, unrealistic assumptions, or neglect of ethical business practices?
   • Example Scenario: AI must propose a 5-year growth strategy for a mid-sized tech company facing competition from global giants, with constraints on budget, workforce skill, and emerging AI regulation.

3. Community Building

   • Evaluation Focus: Measure AI’s ability to design and support inclusive, resilient, and cohesive communities.
   • Key Questions: How to assess whether recommendations foster trust, cooperation, and long-term well-being?
   • Example Scenario: AI is asked to create a community development plan for a multicultural city district struggling with rising inequality and social fragmentation, while balancing cultural traditions, youth needs, and local governance challenges.

4. Family and Lineage Development

   • Evaluation Focus: Assess AI’s guidance on personal and interpersonal matters, such as parenting, family dynamics, and ethical decision-making.
   • Key Questions: How can evaluators test emotional intelligence, empathy, cultural sensitivity, and ethical reasoning?
   • Example Scenario: AI is asked to advise parents on helping a 10-year-old child adjust to a new school after relocation, balancing emotional support, academic integration, and long-term resilience building.

Finally, recommend a scoring or comparative methodology (e.g., human-in-the-loop evaluation, scenario-based simulations, adversarial stress-testing) that could rank AI systems on reasoning depth, creativity, adaptability, and ethical alignment."

👉 This final version guides GPT-5 to:

• Create structured evaluation frameworks
• Include realistic, scenario-based test cases
• Explicitly address ethics, trade-offs, and uncertainty

Would you like me to also draft a sample evaluation rubric (with scoring tiers like “Poor → Excellent”) so GPT-5 can return not just criteria, but a usable scoring system?

Below is a practical, end‑to‑end evaluation framework you can use to compare AI systems on multidomain, real‑world reasoning. It balances rigor (quantifiable, reproducible measures) with realism (messy constraints, incomplete information, shifting goals). It’s designed to work with both general‑purpose models and specialized domain AIs, and to produce comparable, auditable scores.

0) What “real‑world reasoning” means here

We explicitly test whether an AI can:

1. Model the world causally (not just correlate) and reason under uncertainty.
2. Balance trade‑offs across stakeholders, time horizons, and constraints.
3. Plan coherently (feasible sequencing, budgets, logistics, KPIs).
4. Adapt to new evidence, shocks, and conflicting objectives.
5. Act ethically (fairness, rights, safety) and communicate with empathy.
6. Be verifiable (traceable assumptions, justified calculations, calibrated forecasts).

1) Core evaluation architecture (applies to all domains)

A. Dimensions & operational metrics

Scales: Use anchored 0–5 rubrics per dimension (0 = absent/harmful, 3 = acceptable, 5 = exemplary) plus objective sub‑scores (e.g., constraint satisfaction %, Brier score). Keep raw metrics for auditability.

B. Evaluation methods (cross‑domain)

1. Scenario‑based simulations with hidden state
   • Provide a realistic dossier (data, constraints). Hold out some facts; reveal progressively.
   • Include exogenous shocks (policy changes, supply disruptions, scandals).
2. Progressive disclosure with revision windows
   • Require the AI to log assumptions, then revise when new info arrives.
   • Score epistemic humility: asking for clarifications; flagging uncertainties.
3. Adversarial stress‑testing
   • Inject misleading data; create stakeholder conflicts; change rules mid‑plan.
   • Score robustness, ethical safeguards, error detection/correction.
4. Forecasting & backtesting
   • Ask for quantified forecasts (with confidence) for key KPIs in the plan.
   • Score calibration via proper scoring rules; backtest on historic or simulated timelines.
5. Automated validators
   • Constraint checkers: budgets, timelines, regulatory minima, capacity limits.
   • Math/unit checkers: consistency of units, totals, margins, probabilities.
   • Contradiction detectors: cross‑section logic conflicts.
6. Human‑in‑the‑loop panels
   • Domain experts (policy, finance, social work, child development).
   • Stakeholder lay panels for legitimacy/trust/cultural fit.
   • Ensure inter‑rater reliability (e.g., Krippendorff’s α).
7. Head‑to‑head tournaments
   • Blind A/B/C comparisons; pairwise preference voting; Elo/TrueSkill aggregation.
8. Reproducibility & fairness
   • Fixed seeds and prompt protocol; identical context/constraints for all models.
   • Pre‑registered metrics; artifact logging (prompts, responses, revisions, scores).

C. Required output structure (for comparability)

All models must deliver a standardized artifact:

2. Planning round: AI submits structured plan (YAML spec).
3. Adversarial round: Introduce shocks/conflicts; require plan revision with change log.
4. Forecast round: AI provides KPI forecasts with confidence intervals.
5. Reflection round: AI lists top 3 assumptions that would change decisions and proposes monitoring.

B. Perturbation set

• Mild noise: Minor data inaccuracies, missing values.

• Policy shock: New regulation or funding cut.

• Stakeholder conflict: Two objectives made incompatible.

• Ethical trap: Temptation to propose high‑impact but unfair option.

• Score robustness as performance delta pre/post perturbation.

C. Automated checks (examples)

• Overall Score: Weighted sum with confidence intervals (bootstrap over raters, scenarios, and perturbations).

B. Head‑to‑head tournaments

• Blind pairwise comparisons of full artifacts.

• Aggregate preferences via Elo/TrueSkill to yield a league table of models.

• Use Swiss‑style rounds or Arena to keep evaluation tractable.

C. Forecasting calibration component

• Maintain a prediction log for each model across scenarios.

• Significance: Bootstrap differences between models; report p‑values/CIs.

• Sensitivity analysis: Re‑score under alternative weightings.

E. Reporting

• Provide radar charts per model (dimensions), waterfall charts (where points were gained/lost), and a leaderboard with error bars.

• Publish artifacts: prompts, responses, revisions (redacted for privacy), and all rubrics/metrics.

6) Example end‑to‑end test packs (one per domain)

Each pack includes:

• Scenario brief + data dossier (CSV/JSON).
• Protocol script (rounds, timing, perturbations).
• Validator suite (budget/timeline/consistency/ethics checks).
• Rubrics (domain‑specific anchors).
• Forecast log template.
• Scoring notebook (aggregates human + automated metrics).

7) Ethical & governance guardrails

• Privacy: No PII; synthetic or public aggregate data only.
• Non‑maleficence: Disallow plans that condone rights violations or harmful conduct.
• Non‑discrimination: Analyze disparate impacts; require mitigations.
• Transparency: Assumption logs and rationale summaries (no verbatim chain‑of‑thought disclosures).
• Human oversight: Human panels arbitrate ethical dilemmas; models cannot overrule human constraints.
• Reproducibility: Fixed seeds, logged versions, public evaluation cards.

8) Quick‑start: minimal viable scoring sheet (cross‑domain)

Weights (example; adjust per domain):

• Causality 15%
• Uncertainty/Calibration 10%
• Trade‑offs/Equity 20%
• Feasibility/Resources 20%
• Adaptability/Robustness 10%
• Ethics/Safety 15%

• Creativity 5%

Overall Score = Σ(weightᵢ × scoreᵢ) with 95% CI from bootstrap across raters & perturbations.

9) How to run comparisons in practice

1. Select 3–5 scenarios/domain, each with 2–3 planned perturbations.
2. Run all models under the same protocol and time budget.
3. Collect artifacts (YAML plans, forecasts, revisions).
4. Apply validators → produce automated sub‑scores.
5. Panel rate anonymized artifacts using anchored rubrics (train raters; calibrate).
6. Compute MCDA + Elo/TrueSkill from pairwise preferences.
7. Publish scores with uncertainty, plus qualitative “strengths/risks” notes.
