Structure Helped the Agent Read and Hurt When It Was Told How to Write
A deployed tender-response pipeline found an asymmetry between structural extraction and structural instruction conditioning.
Summary
A deployed tender-response pipeline found an asymmetry between structural extraction and structural instruction conditioning.
Rendering source documents as markup improved three reading tasks, but converting bid instructions from prose to nested XML dropped answer quality from 74 to 48 percent. In a blind comparison, 68 percent of identified gaps came from information absent from the supplied sources, separating unavailable knowledge from avoidable writing defects.
Why it matters
A deployed tender-response pipeline found an asymmetry between structural extraction and structural instruction conditioning.
Limits and context
No additional limitation was separately recorded.
