agent hallucinating answers not in source data for generate manager talk

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in generate manager talking points from low driver scores agent by acting on the exact problem first: constrain every talking point to a driver score or a comment the agent retrieved, name the driver and its score beside each talking point, and reject any talking point whose driver appears in no retrieved record. Do not rerun the same survey, report or export unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one survey, team or department first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

agent hallucinating answers not in source data for generate manager talking points from low driver scores error hallucination failure

Use this when

• The operation in generate manager talking points from low driver scores agent fails with this exact problem: agent hallucinating answers not in source data for generate manager talking points from low driver scores error hallucination failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A survey launch, results dashboard, manager report or action plan is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with an interpretation call such as which driver to prioritise. That is a people analytics judgement, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named survey, team or department in generate manager talking points from low driver scores agent and record the full problem text plus the survey, team or period involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: constrain every talking point to a driver score or a comment the agent retrieved, name the driver and its score beside each talking point, and reject any talking point whose driver appears in no retrieved record. Verify: the single failing survey, team or department now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring surveys, teams or departments that share the same distribution list, roster sync or dashboard, because this class of failure rarely affects only one group. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in generate manager talking points from low driver scores agent on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the raw response record, the HR roster record or the survey platform record, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the survey run log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

How to fix - agent hallucinating answers not in source data for generate manager talking points from low driver scores error hallucination failure

The how to phrasing for the same failure in generate manager talking points from low driver scores agent. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

generate manager talking points from low driver scores agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

An agent can write polished talking points for a driver the survey never measured, and tying each point to a retrieved score or comment is what keeps the set an answer to this survey rather than generic advice.

Edge cases

• The survey was reopened, the roster was resynced or a team was restructured after the failing run started. Refresh the survey state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single group proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other groups. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared distribution list or dashboard can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The raw response record governs response counts, the HR roster governs who was invited, and the platform record governs what was sent or shown; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: generate manager talking points from low driver scores agent at current versions, plus the survey platform, roster or reporting tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

TL;DR

Fix this in one on one prep agent by acting on the exact problem first: require every talking point the agent drafts to cite a goal or a feedback entry it retrieved for this report, compare each cited point against its source text, and delete any point whose claim appears in no retrieved source before the draft reaches the manager. Do not rerun the same meeting sync or prep run unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one meeting, agenda or direct report first, then rerun the full scope and check the shared record.

Use this when

• The operation in one on one prep agent fails with this exact problem: agent hallucinating answers not in source data for draft talking points for a one on one error hallucination failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A one on one agenda, talking point, action item or prep step is blocked until this is resolved.

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named meeting or direct report in one on one prep agent and record the full problem text plus the meeting, participants and date involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: require every talking point the agent drafts to cite a goal or a feedback entry it retrieved for this report, compare each cited point against its source text, and delete any point whose claim appears in no retrieved source before the draft reaches the manager.

one on one prep agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

Asked to draft from thin source material, an agent can invent plausible feedback themes and progress claims, and a citation check against retrieved sources is what separates drafted points from invented ones.

Edge cases

• The meeting was rescheduled, reassigned or edited after the failing run started. Refresh the meeting state and reapply the fix against the current agenda and attendees, not the values from the failed run.
• The single meeting proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other meetings. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template or calendar series can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The shared agenda record governs talking points and action items, the calendar event governs time and attendees, and private notes govern only what their owner chose to share; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: one on one prep agent at current versions, plus the calendar, agenda or people tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

TL;DR

Fix this in one on one summary agent by acting on the exact problem first: tie every claim in the summary to a line in the retrieved meeting notes, quote the action lines exactly as written, and remove any theme, decision or number that appears in no note line before the summary is used for prep.

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

A summary is the document a manager skims instead of the notes, so an invented decision inside it is acted on as if the report agreed to it in the meeting.

Edge cases

• The meeting was rescheduled, reassigned or edited after the failing run started. Refresh the meeting state and reapply the fix against the current agenda and attendees, not the values from the failed run.
• The single meeting proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other meetings. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template or calendar series can hide more than one cause.
