TWO-RUN LOCAL REPLICATION · 6 CUAD CONTRACTS · 26–27 OCT 2026

One prompt rewrite changed an exact-match result — twice.

In the first run, Qwen 2.5 1.5B produced 6 exact matches in 12 canonical-prompt attempts and 4 in 12 paraphrased-prompt attempts. A separate 24-call repeat reproduced every output and verdict exactly. The same six contracts passed consistently on three canonical and two paraphrased cases; one passed only canonically, none only under paraphrase.

Intervals use six contract-level outcomes, not twelve correlated attempts per wording. They are wide and overlap. Two contracts passed with both prompts, one passed only with canonical wording, none passed only with the paraphrase, and three failed with both.

In the first run, all 24 responses were returned and independently checked against the official annotated answer spans: 10 exact matches, 14 verified failures and 0 execution errors. Mean local inference latency was 11.04 seconds, median 10.91 seconds and p95 23.32 seconds.

Repeatability check · second run on 27 Oct 2026

The approved repeat used the same pinned model digest, six-contract suite, prompt variants and deterministic settings. All 24 output hashes and independently recomputed verdicts matched the first run; the repeat again produced 10 exact spans, 14 mismatches and zero execution errors.

This supports repeatability for one model build and this fixed six-contract prompt suite. It adds no independent contract coverage and does not establish general capability. The repeat used local Ollama only, with $0 provider spend.

This six-contract public sample is exploratory. Exact annotation reproduction is not legal correctness, full-document review, customer utility or hosted-model behavior. Raw excerpts and model outputs are not published. The result does not enter production measurements, routing or rankings.
