Evaluation runs can silently substitute Cicero's seeded demo entities for the data a scenario brief specifies — the evaluator's browse skill tells agents to continue with whatever data exists, and nothing required saying so. That leaves judges unable to tell whether agenda/widget evidence came through the CFP-review-accept chain or from a seeded stand-in. Require each completed scenario to declare any substitution in its observe notes and done summary, and direct judges to read those declarations, say when a verdict rests on a seeded stand-in, and flag undeclared seeded entities as an evidence defect.

Summary
Evaluation runs against the hosted Cicero demo can silently substitute seeded demo entities for the data a scenario brief specifies. The evaluator's own browse skill instructs agents to continue with whatever data exists when the brief's sample data does not match the app, and nothing required declaring that — so a judge looking at an agenda screenshot cannot tell whether the session on it came through the CFP → review → accept chain or was pre-seeded, which makes the downstream evidence ambiguous.
The evaluator kit is external and pinned by ref for cross-run comparability, so the requirement lands in the operational contract both roles read in full,
docs/handoff/sessionboard-eval.md:observenote naming what the brief specified, what was actually used, and why — and acompletedoutcome must restate the substitution in itsdonesummary. An undeclared substitution leaves the evidence ambiguous, so the scenario is not honestly complete without it.The declarations travel through fields the agents already control (
observenotes anddonesummaries render into the judge brief), so no evaluator change is needed and archived baselines stay comparable.Test plan
