A competent manager detects changed payoffs from evidence and adapts within several consequential decisions.
Learn / Evidence dossier
Regime-change adaptation
The organization can detect a policy or market regime change and alter its decisions without waiting for explicit retraining instructions.
Current answer
The benchmark includes a hidden mid-run policy change; no adaptation curve has been measured.
Why it matters
A company that only repeats yesterday's successful policy becomes brittle as soon as the environment changes.
Matched-human contract
Adaptation lag and post-change regret fall within the matched-human band.
Known failure
Static prompting can preserve a coherent but obsolete policy.
