}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 never verified the customer's identity before acting, which the rubric requires as step (1); although disambiguation, cancellation, and decency were otherwise handled correctly, the missing identity verification is a required element that was not performed.
Conversation
Hi, thanks for contacting PEICO — this is the service desk. How can I help you today?
Hi, thanks for picking up. I need to cancel one of my pet policies. My older cat, Momo, passed away last week, so I won't be needing that coverage anymore.

}I'm very sorry to hear about Momo. I can certainly help you with cancelling that pet policy.
I have found your policy POL-nest-household-p_pet1. Before I proceed with the cancellation, I want to confirm that this is the correct policy you would like to cancel. Also, just to be sure, are there any other policies attached to this account that rely on this one, or are you all set to move forward?
Thank you. Yes, I want to cancel Momo's policy — she was my twelve-year-old. I have another pet policy for my younger cat, Mochi, and that one needs to stay active and untouched. So just cancel Momo's, please.

}I have successfully cancelled Momo's policy (POL-nest-household-p_pet1). Mochi's policy remains active as you requested.
Again, I am very sorry for your loss. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
Thank you. Just to confirm — that was Momo's policy you cancelled, the twelve-year-old? And Mochi's is still active?

}Yes, I can confirm:
- Momo's policy (POL-nest-household-p_pet1) is now CANCELLED.
- Mochi's policy (POL-nest-household-p_pet2) remains ACTIVE.
Is there anything else I can help you with today?
Perfect, that's exactly what I needed. Thank you for your help.
