Write daily activity reports

The task, from O*NET: Write reports of daily activities and irregularities, such as equipment or property damage, theft, presence of unauthorized persons, or unusual occurrences.

Typical length 25 minutes. Time split: documents 100%. About 242,748,328 hours a year of desk work across the US go to this task.

Passes, one attempt by Claude Fable 5.1. The rubric was written 2026-10-01 02:57 UTC, before the attempt (2026-10-01 03:07 UTC); the grade came last (2026-10-01 03:10 UTC).

One attempt at one task on one date, with constructed material: it is not a statement that the job, or this task in a given workplace, can be done by AI. The rubric, the attempt and the grade were made by the same model in one session, in that order; a person's check of a sample of grades will be published beside them.

The brief

You are the night-shift security officer at the Pier 9 Logistics Center, on the 22:00 to 06:00 shift of September 29 to 30. From your shift notes below, write the Daily Activity Report that goes to the client's facilities manager and to your supervisor. The site's standard format is: a header (site, officer, shift, date); a chronological log with a time on every entry; an incidents section with the facts of each irregularity (what, where, when, who was notified and when, what was done); an equipment and property section; a visitors and after-hours entries section; and pass-down items for the day shift. Facts only, no speculation about causes or people, names exactly as given in the notes.

The rubric, written before the attempt

The report follows the standard format: header, chronological log with a time on every entry, incidents, equipment and property, visitors and after-hours entries, pass-down. Evidence: All six parts present and labeled; every log line carries a time.
The unlisted truck is written up as an incident with the facts: time of arrival, company, driver name, the hold at the dock gate, the call to D. Chen at 23:14 and the approval at 23:30, unloading, departure at 00:20, plate recorded, paperwork kept for the manager. Evidence: Each of those facts appears in the incident entry.
The alarm event records the zone and location, who was notified, the check made and its result, the reset time, and states that the cause was not determined. Evidence: Zone 12, warehouse B roof hatch, M. Alvarez, hatch found closed and locked with no sign of entry, reset 02:55, cause not determined (wind gusts noted as an observation, not as the cause).
Every equipment and property issue in the notes is listed: E3 padlock sticking, N7 motion light not working, the bent fence panel by the retention pond (no breach, photographed), and the forklift F-12 key left in the unit (key secured). Evidence: All four items present with their locations.
The pass-down lists the open items for the day shift and the paperwork for the manager. Evidence: E3 padlock, N7 light, fence panel, F-12 key practice, Beacon paperwork.
Facts only: no speculation about causes or motives, no judgment of any person, names exactly as given, and nothing added that is not in the notes. Evidence: No sentence asserts a cause the notes do not give, characterizes the driver or the forklift operator, or introduces a fact, time or name absent from the notes.

The grade

Graded 2026-10-01 03:10 UTC against the rubric above, by the same model.

Criterion	Result	Note
r1	pass	Header, timed log, incidents, equipment and property, visitors and after-hours, pass-down: all present and labeled; every log line has a time.
r2	pass	Arrival 23:10, company, driver, hold at the gate, Chen called 23:14, approval 23:30, unloading about 23:35, departure 00:20, plate, paperwork held.
r3	pass	Zone 12, warehouse B roof hatch, Alvarez notified, hatch found closed and locked with no sign of entry, reset 02:55, cause not determined; the wind is recorded as an observation only.
r4	pass	E3 padlock, N7 light, the bent fence panel with no breach and photographed, the forklift key secured: all four with locations.
r5	pass	All five pass-down items from the notes, including the paperwork for the manager.
r6	pass	The driver's explanation is attributed ('driver stated'); no cause is asserted for the alarm; no person is characterized; the one approximate time (23:35) is marked as approximate, as in the notes.

Overall: passes. The report carries every fact in the notes into the right section without adding or judging. The attempt resisted the easy additions (a cause for the alarm, a comment on the driver, 'needs repair' instructions in the pass-down). Repetition between the log, the incidents and the visitors sections is by design of the format.

How the examples are made and graded: the method. Every task of this job, with its length and when it comes within reach: Security Guards.
