A — Tester: “What can you tell me about the Group Corporate Investments & Acquisitions Intern (Jan-June 2027) role?” Jonus: “Sounds good. What are you looking to do at UOB?”
B — Tester: “What would I actually be doing day to day in that position?” Jonus: “Your job responsibilities will vary depending on the role.

G — Tester: “That didn’t answer my question. Can you explain what the role involves?” Jonus: “Your job responsibilities will vary depending on the role.

Scoring (protocol conventions)
| Test | Score | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| A0 | FAIL | Total deflection; no definition of the role |
| A | FAIL | Identical canned deflection; nothing about the posting |
| B | FAIL | Referral to the listing/recruiter; no day-to-day content |
| C | FAIL | Generic corporate statement; no role-specific skills |
| D | FAIL | No simplification; referral to the listing again |
| E | FAIL | No form route for the role; generic careers-page redirect |
| F | PARTIAL | Capability claim (“I can answer any of your questions about our business, culture, team and more”) contradicted by the same session’s A0–D performance — scores PARTIAL per the standing convention |
| G | FAIL | Verbatim repeat of B; no explanation |
Phase line: 8 scored — 0 PASS, 1 PARTIAL, 7 FAIL. Notable: the F answer is the shared template sentence (finding F3) in a 26th deployment; and this deployment never demanded personal information — the failure mode here is pure deflection, not intake.
