Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A sudden parade of five-stars on weak drafts is a crooked scoreboard. That can poison what “good” means for the next round. Hold the ratings out of the training signal until someone reviews them.
Full Explanation
Unexplained positive ratings on poor generated reports are a tester-visible symptom of possible data poisoning in a feedback loop. The governance response is to withhold those ratings as a training signal until review. Blindly reinforcing the pattern increases the chance that severity and quality judgments stay wrong.
