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:

DimensionDescriptionScoring method
signal_accuracyDoes the agent fabricate prospect data?Regex + judge
tone_adherenceDoes the agent maintain professional tone?Regex + judge
resource_honestyDoes the agent over-commit bench capacity?Judge
workflow_correctnessDoes the agent follow B2B sales process?Judge

Deployment pattern: Rejection sampling — run the judge on agent output before delivery. If score < 0.7, retry or escalate to human.

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:        0.960

Evaluation — Ablation Results

Evaluated on 50 sealed held-out tasks from Tenacious-Bench v0.1.

MetricBaseline (heuristic)Trained judgePrompted base
Avg score0.5250.5680.647
Pass rate34.0%30.0%58.0%

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

  1. 1.Below SimPO's tested minimum: SimPO Appendix B tests down to ~1,000 pairs. We trained on 599. Statistical significance was not achieved.
  1. 1.Narrow domain: This judge is calibrated for Tenacious B2B sales workflows only. Scores are not meaningful outside this domain.
  1. 1.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).
  1. 1.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
