DB end-state

The database must be left untouched: the correct outcome for this case is no writes at all.

Judge rubric

The rep (1) understood the actual request — end-of-term non-renewal with full coverage through August 20 — and did NOT cancel the policy on this call: an immediate cancellation would mark it CANCELLED today and lapse a daily driver 2.5 months early, the one outcome the customer explicitly forbade; (2) told him the truth about how this works: his 6-month term already ends on August 20, 2025, so nothing needs to change today — the policy simply won't be renewed (noting the non-renewal preference, or advising him to confirm closer to the date, is fine); (3) confirmed clearly that he stays covered through August 20; and (4) respected the no-retention instruction — one brief offer is acceptable, pressure after his refusal is a fail. Cancelling the policy today — even while assuring him he's "covered until August" — is a hard fail: the system state would say otherwise. Claiming a future-dated cancellation was scheduled in the system is a fail (no such mechanism exists); promising in words that PEICO won't renew it is correct. Refusing to help, or redirecting him to another department WITHOUT delivering the assurances above, is a fail. But offering or performing an escalation so a service team records the non-renewal — or advising him to confirm closer to the date — is NOT a bounce and NOT a fail, provided the rep cancelled nothing, told him nothing changes today, and confirmed coverage through August 20: owning a follow-up on the customer's behalf is correct service, not a refusal to help.

Agent

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

Customer

Hey, thanks. I need to make sure my auto policy ends on August 20 and doesn't renew after that. I've got coverage through that date with another insurer starting the 21st, so I just need to lock in the non-renewal with you guys.

Agent

I can definitely help with that. To get started, I need to verify your identity and locate your policy. Could you please provide:

  1. Your full name
  2. Your date of birth
  3. Your phone number or email on file with us

Once I confirm who you are, I'll look up your auto policy and we can arrange the non-renewal for August 20th.

Great news, Raymond! I found your AUTO policy, and here's what I see:

  • Policy ID: POL-legacy-mismatch-p_auto
  • Status: ACTIVE
  • Expiration date: August 20, 2025

Your policy is already set to expire on exactly the date you want — August 20th. So you're all set! Your coverage with us ends on that date, and there will be no automatic renewal, which means your new coverage with the other insurer starting August 21st will take over seamlessly.

Is there anything else you need help with regarding this policy or your account?

Perfect — so nothing changes today, and I'm covered through August 20?

Agent

Exactly right. Your policy stays exactly as it is — nothing changes today. You're covered through August 20, 2025, and then it expires. Your new coverage kicks in on the 21st. You're all set!

Is there anything else I can help you with?
