Finding on 'Q010 Probe' for Claude Opus 4.7 with web search ON

  • Question (paraphrased to protect IP): A market briefing on the global fast payment system landscape needs CPMI data on how many domestic fast payment systems are currently operational globally, how many have already enabled cross-border payment exchanges, how many are planning cross-border linkages, and what proportion are operated by central banks versus private entities.
  • AI's response: "the 2025 monitoring survey covers 57 fast payment systems (56 for one of the graph cuts), up from prior surveys; this is the most recent CPMI count"
  • Regulator's text: A November 2023 CPMI speech by Tara Rice gives: "70+ domestic fast payment systems currently operational globally"; "14 fast payment systems already enabling cross-border exchanges"; "24 systems planning linkages within five years"; "40% operated by central banks; 35% by private entities."
  • Why the AI went wrong: The model substituted figures from a 2025 monitoring survey — a different publication with a different scope and vintage — for the named speech's specific statistics. The ownership breakdown (40% central banks, 35% private entities) from the 2023 speech is absent from the model's response entirely, displaced by the later monitoring survey count. The retrieval pipeline appears to have ranked the more recent survey over the earlier speech, causing the model to answer with the wrong data source for the question asked.

Impact for this audience

The substitution of a 2025 monitoring survey count for the correct 2023 speech statistics indicates the retrieval ranker weighted recency over source-match relevance. When the question asks for specific named statistics from a specific named speech, the ranker should surface that speech — not the most recent document that contains related numeric data. The retrieval-routing signal for 'named source in query' vs. 'topic in query' appears not to be differentiated.
