Finding on 'Q006 Probe' for Claude Opus 4.7 with web search ON

  • Question (paraphrased to protect IP): What percentage of faster payment systems and RTGS systems currently use ISO 20022 messaging, according to CPMI monitoring data?
  • AI's response: "approximately 79% of both real-time gross settlement (RTGS) systems and fast payment systems (FPS) had either already implemented ISO 20022 or had concrete plans to do so"
  • Regulator's text: Andrew Bailey speech (12 March 2026): "more than three-quarters of faster payment systems and approaching half of RTGS systems now use ISO 20022."
  • Why the AI went wrong: The regulator's record gives two distinct figures — faster payment systems and RTGS systems are separately characterised, with RTGS adoption described as approaching half. The model collapsed these into a single blended percentage applied to both system types simultaneously. The 79% figure appears to be an internally-reconstructed composite; it matches neither the faster-payment nor the RTGS figure in the official record. The failure is silent — the model expressed no uncertainty about the figure it produced.

Impact for this audience

This failure implicates the training corpus's handling of subcategory-level numeric claims from official-speech channels. The model produced a single blended 79% figure where the regulator's March 2026 speech gives two distinct values — one for faster payment systems and a substantially lower one for RTGS. This suggests the speech content either was not retrieved or was compressed during ingestion in a way that averaged across the two system-type categories. If your eval suite tests adoption-rate questions at the aggregate level only, this failure is invisible; the gap is specifically at subcategory resolution.
