NSTD.7:5.2 - Probe suite for generated narrative
| Probe | Question | Pass condition | Failure repair |
| Source perturbation | If one source relation changes, does the generated narrative change at the right place? | The affected sentence, order marker, or source-return link changes. | Recover source plan; do not rely on prompt fluency. |
| Structure recovery | Can a reader reconstruct selected source structure from the output? | Reader recovers nodes and relations needed for declared use and knows lost relations. | Add source-return markers or narrow declared use. |
| Responsibility | Who decides the consequential use and can correct it? | The applicable assignment or decision authority is recoverable. | Resolve that authority question; apply evidence or assurance checks only when those claims are made. |
| Schema use | Does the result satisfy the constraints that matter to its use? | Required fields and their semantic constraints are satisfied. | Repair the generator or result; use executable validation when it can test those constraints. |
| Improvement evidence | Is the new variant better under the relevant NSTD.6 characteristics? | Re-evaluation supports the claimed change without losing protected results. A sufficient one-off comparison can finish here. | Keep an unsupported variant as a candidate. Use E.22 if the question needs framing, or E.23 for repeated improvement. |
