Start with these checks
- An evaluation session addressing test execution and reporting
- Time to inspect a small case-and-attempt record
- A worked example that keeps failed calls visible
The problem
Your Singapore team presents an average translation score from an automated test, but empty responses and malformed outputs were dropped before scoring and repeated calls now appear as additional independent cases.
Give each case an identity before counting attempts
For a small authorised exercise, record the source sentence, intended target language and case identifier separately from each execution attempt. A second call for the same case is another attempt, not automatically another independent example. Keep the system version and any changed input with the record. Decide which result enters the report before inspecting which attempt produces the most flattering translation.
Use the pilot as an execution warning
AI Verify Foundation’s 2025 UltraScale case study reports intermittent translation failures and instability during prolonged testing. Its implementation lessons describe malformed JSON and empty or inconsistent outputs that complicated automation. These are historical observations from that pilot, not a claim about your application or a current vendor assessment. They show why receiving a response and obtaining a usable translation need separate checks.

Put the excluded cases beside the scored result
Report how many distinct cases were attempted, how many produced usable translations under your stated rule and which cases remained unscored. Then describe the quality calculation on the applicable completed cases. Retain reasons for exclusion without treating an empty output as a judged incorrect sentence or silently deleting it. If a retry resolves a case, preserve the earlier failure and say which attempt was scored.
Bring the accounting question to a practical session
Prepare an invented example containing one completed translation, one malformed response and a repeated attempt. Ask whether the resulting report would let another person reconstruct the case count and scoring decision. Search Boardzip’s free tool for Singapore AI evaluation sessions and confirm that their format covers execution records. This exercise improves reporting; it does not establish reliability, prescribe retry limits or produce a benchmark for your product.
Questions and answers
Should every failed API call receive a translation score of zero?
Define and disclose what your metric measures. Execution failure and the quality of an available translation are different observations. A task-level assessment may account for both, but do not introduce a silent scoring convention or describe an unscored case as a completed judgement.
Can I keep only the best successful retry?
That changes the reported procedure. State the attempt-selection rule and retain the case’s earlier outcomes. A result chosen after several tries should not be presented as evidence that the first attempt completed successfully.
