HPC operations reports stop trusting retrieval alone: REPORT-OPS gates evidence before any claim ships
Operational reporting for high-performance computing facilities has to assemble monitoring, scheduler, incident and storage records into a traceable conclusion, and a retrieved record is not automatically fit to support a specific claim. REPORT-OPS lets a large language model interpret requests, plan evidence collection and draft reports, while author-seeded policies and automated checks decide whether the evidence qualifies, then answer, qualify the conclusion or withhold it. On 68 sanitized operational queries, the full system reached 68.63% Pass@80 against 7.02% for the strongest retrieval baseline, and evidence gating raised claim-support precision from 40.58% to 90.06%.
