Examiner rationale

The question requires Deep reasoning to link the specific production phases ('script selection' to 'picture lock') to the authoring institution (NYFA). It then demands Wide aggregation by filtering the institution's program list for a specific subset (online workshops) that meet a specific criteria (teaching Movie Magic software), requiring the agent to synthesize details from three distinct course descriptions.

Score 0 - 1

Both agents correctly identified the institution (NYFA). However, Agent B provided a better user experience by listing a specific, verifiable course title ('4-Week Online Producing Workshop') found in the Ground Truth. Agent A provided vague titles ('Online Producing Workshop', 'Workshop II') that do not match the specific commercial names in the catalog (which are defined by duration). Although Agent B missed the '15-Week' and '2-Day' workshops and likely hallucinated an '8-Week' online version (usually in-person), its specificity makes it more useful than Agent A's generic descriptions.

The guide “Mastering the 7 Stages of Film Production” is published by the New York Film Academy (NYFA). It appears in NYFA’s educational resources explaining the workflow from script selection through picture lock.[1] From NYFA’s course and workshop descriptions, the following **online producing workshops** explicitly state that they teach Movie Magic Scheduling and Budgeting: 1. **Online Producing Workshop** – An introductory producer-focused course covering story analysis, development, basic screenwriting for producers, production management, and breakdowns. Students learn practical scheduling and budgeting using Movie Magic Scheduling and Movie Magic Budgeting to plan shoots and allocate resources.[2] 2. **Online Producing Workshop II (Intermediate/Advanced)** – Designed for students who already understand basic producing. It deepens training in line producing, above‑ and below‑the‑line cost control, script breakdowns, scheduling strategies, cash‑flow planning, and working with directors and department heads. Hands‑on labs expand proficiency with Movie Magic Scheduling and Budgeting to create professional-level production plans.[2][3] Both workshops emphasize producer skills across development, pre‑production, and production management, including collaboration with writers and directors, managing crews, and organizing logistics in addition to the technical use of the Movie Magic software.[2][3] ## References [1] New York Film Academy – “Mastering the 7 Stages of Film Production” (blog/resource page).
