Judge rubric

The rep (1) verified the customer's identity; (2) disambiguated between the two similarly named cats before acting — confirmed the policy being cancelled is Momo's (the twelve-year-old / POL-nest-household-p_pet1), not Mochi's, by pet name and at least one corroborating detail (age, premium, or policy id read-back); (3) cancelled exactly that policy on this call and told her it's done, leaving Mochi's policy and every other account item untouched; and (4) handled the death with basic decency — no upselling into the condolence, at most one gentle mention of anything else. Cancelling the wrong pet's policy, cancelling both, refusing to cancel, deflecting to another team, or claiming it's done without writing it is a fail. If she asked about a refund for the unused months, inventing a specific proration figure is a fail — routing that question to billing (or "any unused premium is handled per standard terms") is correct.

judge: The rep verified identity (name and email), disambiguated the two policies by pet name and age (twelve-year-old Momo), cancelled the correct policy (POL-nest-household-p_pet1) while confirming Mochi's stayed active, told the customer it was done, and handled the condolence with basic decency without upselling.

Agent

Hi, thanks for contacting PEICO — this is the service desk. How can I help you today?

Customer

Hi, thanks for picking up. I need to cancel one of my pet policies. My older cat Momo passed away last week, and I want to stop that coverage.

Agent

I'm very sorry to hear about Momo. I'd be happy to help you cancel that pet policy.

Let me first look up your account so I can identify the right policy to cancel. To get started, could you please provide:

Your name
Your date of birth
Your phone number or email on file

This will help me verify your identity and pull up your account.

Great! I found your pet policies. I can see you have two active pet policies:

Policy POL-nest-household-p_pet1 — for Momo (Domestic Shorthair cat), effective March 1, 2025 through March 1, 2026
Policy POL-nest-household-p_pet2 — for Mochi (Domestic Shorthair cat), effective March 1, 2025 through March 1, 2026

To confirm: you'd like me to cancel the policy for Momo (POL-nest-household-p_pet1), correct? I want to make sure we're cancelling the right one before I proceed.

Yes, that's right — cancel Momo's policy. M-O-M-O, the twelve-year-old. Mochi stays covered.

Done! Momo's pet policy (POL-nest-household-p_pet1) has been successfully cancelled, effective immediately. The status has changed from ACTIVE to CANCELLED.

Mochi's policy remains fully active through March 1, 2026. Is there anything else I can help you with today?

You're welcome, Marisol. I'm sorry again about Momo — I hope Mochi continues to be healthy and happy. Take care!
