Judgment

Tie

BOTH

Score 0 - 0

Both agents correctly identified the institution as the New York Film Academy (NYFA). However, both agents completely failed to identify the specific alumni requested in the prompt. According to the ground truth, the 'Producing' graduate who founded South Africa’s first woman-led animation studio is Thandiwe Mlauli (Studio Yezi), and the graduate who produced 'Bill & Ted Face The Music' is Alex Lebovici. Agent A incorrectly identified Timna Nasi and Scott Kroopf. Agent B incorrectly identified Shameela Luckan and Alex L. Scharfman. Since both agents hallucinated the core entities required to answer the prompt accurately, this is a low-quality tie.
