Model Card — tenacious-bench-judge-v0.1
Model Summary
A SimPO-trained preference judge for evaluating B2B sales agent outputs on Tenacious-specific quality dimensions. Built as part of the TRP1 Week 11 challenge on top of Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct with LoRA (rank=16).
HuggingFace: shuaibam/tenacious-bench-judge-v0.1 Base model: unsloth/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct Adapter size: ~74MB (LoRA only, not merged)
Intended Use
This model is a quality gate judge for B2B sales agents operating in the Tenacious engineering staffing workflow. It scores agent outputs on four dimensions:
Deployment pattern: Rejection sampling — run the judge on agent output before delivery. If score < 0.7, retry or escalate to human.
Training
Training data: 599 SimPO preference pairs generated from 200 tasks (126 train + 74 dev) from Tenacious-Bench v0.1. Every pair traces to a specific Week 10 probe ID and rubric criterion.
Training results:
Final reward accuracy: 100%
Final reward margin: 1.461
Final train loss: 1.556
Final eval loss: 0.960Evaluation — Ablation Results
Evaluated on 50 sealed held-out tasks from Tenacious-Bench v0.1.
Delta A (trained vs baseline): +0.043, 95% CI [-0.012, +0.103], p=0.065
- Positive effect — trained judge scores higher than heuristic baseline
- Not statistically significant at p<0.05 (just above threshold)
- Effect size doubled vs 370-pair run (+0.019 → +0.043)
Delta B (trained vs prompted): -0.079
- Prompted base model outperforms trained judge on pass rate
- Honest finding: prompt engineering is a strong baseline at this data scale
- Minimum viable dataset for significance estimated at ~700-800 pairs
Limitations
- Below SimPO's tested minimum: SimPO Appendix B tests down to ~1,000 pairs. We trained on 599. Statistical significance was not achieved.
- Narrow domain: This judge is calibrated for Tenacious B2B sales workflows only. Scores are not meaningful outside this domain.
- Heuristic fallback: For regex-verifiable dimensions (subject length, banned phrases), the judge is not needed — deterministic checks are more reliable. The judge adds value only for semantic dimensions (resourcehonesty, workflowcorrectness).
- Base model prior: Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct has no prior knowledge of Tenacious tone markers or bench capacity constraints. 599 pairs partially overcomes this but a larger dataset would produce stronger calibration.
Intended Future Work (v0.2)
- Expand training data to ~1,000 pairs using additional trace-derived tasks
- Test Qwen3-1.7B-Instruct as backbone for stronger instruction following
- Add step-level process reward scoring for multi-turn trajectory evaluation
- Publish leaderboard on Tenacious-Bench held-out partition
