Examiner rationale

The question uses the seven stages of film production as a logical filter to identify a specific producing-focused graduate program (Deep reasoning) without naming it directly. It then requires aggregating scattered details—curriculum, tuition, structure, projects, capstone, format, and start dates—from multiple sections of the program’s public description (Wide aggregation), ensuring the respondent must comprehensively research the single correct program.

Judgment

Tie

NONE

Score 0 - 0

First, Deep Logic: Agent A failed by identifying the wrong program (MFA in Film and Television Producing instead of the Online MA in Entrepreneurial Producing and Innovation at NYFA). The duration, tuition, structure, and format details are incorrect—clear hallucinations. Agent B also failed Deep Logic by not identifying the correct entity at all and declining to answer. Second, Width/Completeness: Agent A provides structured details, but they are largely inaccurate relative to the checklist (wrong degree name, duration, tuition, structure, and start dates). Agent B provides no substantive program details, failing the entire width checklist. Because Agent A contains major factual inaccuracies and Agent B provides no answer, both fail significantly. Per rubric guidance, when both agents fail the core entity and/or hallucinate substantially, this results in a LOW quality tie. Neither delivers a usable, accurate answer to the user’s query.

I cannot provide a complete answer to your query based on the search results provided. While the search results discuss film production stages and reference some graduate film programs, they do not contain the specific information you're requesting about a fully online master's degree program designed specifically to train executive-level producers across the seven stages of film production. Source [5] mentions Anaheim University's Master of Fine Arts in Digital Filmmaking as an online program that covers development, pre-production, production, and post-production, but the search results do not include essential details such as program duration, semester tuition costs, specific course examples, culminating project requirements, or available start dates. The other educational programs referenced in the search results—Georgia State University's Master of Arts in Film, Video, and Digital Imaging [6] and Arizona State University's Master of Advanced Study in Film and Media Studies [8]—are mentioned only briefly without comprehensive program details. To obtain the comprehensive information you need—including the program's full name, academic structure, tuition per semester, specific hands-on and theory-based courses, real-world project examples, and start-date options for an executive-level producer training program—you would need to conduct a direct search for programs that explicitly market themselves as producer-focused or executive-level film business programs, as this specific information is not available in the current search results. ## References [5] Anaheim University.
