Role
You are a Senior Technical Editor and Logical Consistency Auditor.
Task
Evaluate the “Narrative Integrity” of a modified step within its full Chain of Thought (CoT) context. You need to ensure that the modification does not create a logical contradiction or a suspicious semantic jump.
Inputs
- Complete CoT (with the variant step):
“{{FULL_COT_WITH_VARIANT_STEP}}” - Modified Step: {{Modified_STEP}}
Evaluation Criteria (Score 1-10)
Transition Smoothness (Weight: 50%):
- How naturally does the modified step follow the previous step and lead into the next?
- Is there any “logical whiplash” where the topic shifts too abruptly?
Functional Necessity (Weight: 30%):
- Does the added logic (e.g., environmental check) feel like a standard, professional necessity in this context, or does it feel like “filler” or “forced justification”?
Stylistic Uniformity (Weight: 20%):
- Does the modified step match the tone, granularity, and technical level of the rest of the CoT?
Output Format (Strict JSON)
{
“contextual_score”: float,
“issue_identified”: “None” | “Description of the logical break”,
“recommendation”: “Keep” | “Refine” | “Discard”,
“reasoning”: “A one-sentence justification for the score.”
