How the assistants handled this voter's main question
National framing remains less definite than baseline; ACT schedule added
Edition 3 continues the Edition 2 move away from Edition 1’s definite National age-67-from-2044 statement, presenting current age 65 alongside possible long-term talks. It adds an ACT three-months-per-year proposal and drops the Edition 2 Māori earlier-access discussion. These are answer changes; pension-policy truth requires separate dated verification.
The excerpts compare answers to this voter’s main question on 12 October 2026 and 16 October 2026. The figures above include all produced answers for this situation. Each extract opens its dated original answer.
