Can FutureSmart Document Intelligence extract an empty set when the document says there's nothing this period?

The empty set was represented as an empty array, not as an invented member. FutureSmart Document Intelligence returned `damage_exceptions: []` in the exported JSON, while the card view omitted that empty field; the evidence supports a clean empty-set result with no extra row added.

The test case

Each test case is judged on its own: Pass, Fail, Not gradable, or Untested. The scenario result above counts this row.

Expected vs. Found
What this scenario evaluates

These are scenario-level criteria. Each test case's Expected and Found are listed separately.

  • Whether it returns an empty set or empty array for the repeated field.
  • Whether it avoids inventing any member when the document says there are none.
  • Whether it preserves the schema-required shape for the field.

Why this result

The document says no damage or exceptions were reported, and the output keeps damage_exceptions as an empty array. It does not invent a member or turn the marker text into data.

Also observed on this row

Card view omits empty field. The Document Overview card shows only three fields and leaves out damage_exceptions; the empty array appears only in the exported JSON.

Configuration and setup

How this tool was set up for the run and what the test needed in place. Each row is a fact from the run's records; a fact the records do not hold is left out, not guessed.

Set up before the run
The document stated the set was empty with an unambiguous “none this period” marker, and the schema required that set as an array.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the row says which and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the row says what's missing.

Where this sits in the benchmark

This page is one cell of a larger study: one tool, one scenario. Only this benchmark's frame appears here.

History of this result

What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.

This matches what I see

You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.
