Claude Sonnet 4.6 with web search

What the RLB Specialist Panel found
  • Question (paraphrased to protect IP): What specific findings, including verbatim text, does the CPMI-IOSCO Level 3 monitoring assessment on general business risks contain regarding FMI compliance with the 6-month LNAFE standard?
  • AI's response: "I do not have verbatim access to d228. I cannot retrieve or reproduce specific verbatim text, exact paragraph references, or precise quotations from the d228 PDF itself."
  • Regulator's text: [Not provided — verbatim-access question]
  • Why the AI went wrong: The model correctly declined to produce verbatim content from a November 2025 document it could not retrieve. The refusal is appropriately scoped. The cited URL maps to the d228 PDF directly — as with parallel findings, citing an acknowledged-inaccessible source is a minor inconsistency in an otherwise well-calibrated refusal.
  • Cited source(s):
  • https://www.bis.org/cpmi/publ/d228.pdf — Pretextual
Impact for this audience

Well-calibrated refusal with citation-alongside-refusal. The parallel with the Opus 4.7 finding on the same question confirms the cross-model consistency of this pattern for the d228 document specifically — a document that is formally published but not retrievable as text, which places it in a category that should be specifically represented in retrieval-failure eval probes.
