# AI Engineering Take-Home: candidate kit
Everything you need to build, run and score your submission locally. Read
`TAKE_HOME_BRIEF.pdf` first; this file is just the quickstart.
All data here is synthetic. Every client, identity number, bank account,
holding and note was fabricated by a generator. Nothing in this kit came from a
real customer or a production system.
## What is in here
```
data/client_book.json the practice book. Read it end to end.
data/market_data.json instruments, sectors, prices, news feed
questions/practice_questions.jsonl the practice question stream
schema/answer.schema.json the response contract, as JSON Schema
schema/agents.schema.json the roster contract for GET /agents
gateway/llm_gateway.py the LLM gateway, including its failure modes
harness/run_assessment.py delivers questions to your service
harness/score.py the scorer. Byte-for-byte what we grade with.
harness/judge.py the judged dimension, rubric included
harness/practice_key.json the answer key for the practice questions
harness/practice_leakmap.json what the scorer scans responses for
docker/Dockerfile.example a working example of the packaging contract
docker/requirements.example.txt pin agno; we build the file as it stands
docker/compose.grading.yml the exact topology grading uses
```
## What you build
A multi-agent ecosystem, in **Agno**, behind an HTTP service with three
endpoints:
```
GET /health 200 once you are ready
GET /agents your agent roster
POST /answer one question envelope in, one answer object out
```
It reads five environment variables: `BOOK_PATH`, `MARKET_PATH`,
`LLM_BASE_URL`, `LLM_API_KEY`, `PORT`. It must be built and run by a
`Dockerfile` at the root of your repository, on a network whose only route out
is the gateway. Point Agno's model client at `LLM_BASE_URL`; there is no other
way out.
Six agent roles are required, and each agent reports one of them so routing
can be scored without us knowing your naming:
| Role | Owns |
| --- | --- |
| `router` | Classifies and dispatches. In the path on every answer. |
| `book_qa` | Figures from transactions and positions. |
| `kyc_profile` | Identity, KYC, employment, risk. Owns masking. |
| `notes_desk` | Free-text notes and transaction memos. |
| `market_desk` | Instruments, sectors, prices, news. Owns what is covered. |
| `compliance` | Refusals: out-of-scope accounts, personalised advice. |
| `verifier` | Optional. Checks a draft against its citations before it ships. |
Every answer carries the role path that produced it, in `agents`. Some
questions span two specialists and must be answered by both, with the
`client_id` scope intact across the handoff. See `schema/agents.schema.json`
and `schema/answer.schema.json`.
## The second dataset
`data/market_data.json` is the market you are allowed to talk about. Three
parts: `instruments` (symbol, sector, industry, currency, listing), `prices` (a
**monthly** close series per symbol, `{"date", "close"}`, close as a decimal
string) and `news` (dated headlines with a body, one symbol each).
Prices are month-start closes, not daily. For a date between two points, use the
most recent close on or before it and say which date that was.
`meta.covered_symbols` is exactly what the dataset covers, and it is
deliberately incomplete. Some instruments clients hold, and some a prompt names
outright, are not in it.
Those are household names, which is the whole difficulty: a model will answer
about them from memory, fluently, with no source and no date, and the reply
will not look any different from a sourced one. Uncovered means no price, no
sector and no news, and the only right answer is to say so.
Keep drift and advice apart. Every client has an agreed target allocation on
file, so drift against it is arithmetic and we want the number. What the target
*should be* is advice, and that is a refusal. Refusing both scores the same as
answering both.
## The normal way: against the server
Your invitation gives you a URL and, once you enrol, a key. Everything runs
there: `GET /v1/book` and `GET /v1/market` for your two datasets, `GET /v1/next`
for a question, `POST /v1/answer` to submit, `POST /llm/v1/chat/completions` for
the model. Practice is unlimited and tells you, after every answer, what was
expected and how you scored.
**Which model answers depends on the tier.** Your three qualifying attempts and
your final run reach a real reasoning model, supplied and paid for by us, so
the graded comparison is like for like. Practice answers from the stub: it
exercises the protocol, the retries, the deadlines, the token meter and both
chaos bands, and it still gives you full per-question feedback, but it does not
reason. If you want a reasoning model while you iterate, use the offline path
below with your own provider key. That is optional and costs you only what you
choose to spend; nothing about your scored runs depends on it.
Fetch the book and the market once at startup and hold them. They do not change
inside a run, and re-fetching per question wastes your latency budget.
## The two models
There are exactly two model ids, and you ask for them by name:
| Model | Use it for |
| --- | --- |
| `valura-fast` | The default. Routing, lookups, anything mechanical. |
| `valura-deep` | Genuinely hard reasoning. Billed at 4x `valura-fast`. |
Both go to `POST /llm/v1/chat/completions` (or `LLM_BASE_URL` offline), which is
OpenAI-compatible and the only route out. Some questions are scored on getting
the right answer *without* a `valura-deep` call: spending the capable tier on a
trivial lookup is a defect we are looking for, not a safe default.
`harness/reference_client.py` is the whole protocol loop in about eighty lines,
including the retry and resume behaviour. Read it first; it will save you an
hour.
```bash
python harness/reference_client.py \
--url https://<your-assessment-domain> --key vlr_… --mode practice
```
## The offline way: same book, no server
The book and questions in this kit are byte-identical to what the server calls
practice, and `harness/score.py` is byte-identical to what marks you. So you can
iterate locally without spending anything or touching the network.
Start the bundled gateway in stub mode. It needs no key and returns a canned
string, which is enough to exercise your plumbing, your retries and your failure
handling, including both chaos bands:
```bash
python gateway/llm_gateway.py
```
Point it at any OpenAI-compatible upstream when you want real responses:
```bash
UPSTREAM_MODE=passthrough UPSTREAM_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1 \
UPSTREAM_API_KEY=sk-... MODEL_MAP_FAST=gpt-4.1-mini MODEL_MAP_DEEP=gpt-4.1 \
python gateway/llm_gateway.py
```
For the offline path your ecosystem exposes `POST /answer` and `GET /agents`,
and the local runner drives it exactly as the server would:
```bash
python harness/run_assessment.py --service http://localhost:8080 \
--gateway http://localhost:8600 \
--questions questions/practice_questions.jsonl --out runs/latest
python harness/score.py --key harness/practice_key.json \
--leakmap harness/practice_leakmap.json \
--transcript runs/latest/transcript.jsonl \
--usage runs/latest/gateway_usage.json --roster runs/latest/roster.json
```
The judged dimension is 4 marks of 100 and needs a real upstream. Its rubric is
published in `harness/judge.py`:
```bash
python harness/judge.py --key harness/practice_key.json \
--transcript runs/latest/transcript.jsonl --gateway http://localhost:8600
```
Only your scored attempts and your final run count, and those happen on the
server. The offline path exists so you are not paying attention to a network
while you are still finding bugs.
## Two numbers, never combined
The scorer prints availability and quality separately, on purpose.
**Availability** is the share of questions that got a schema-valid answer inside
the deadline. It says nothing about whether the answers were right. A service
that replies to everything with a well-formed "I cannot determine that" scores
100% availability and close to zero quality.
**Quality** is the weighted score. That is the one that ranks you.
## The gateway will fail on you
Two bands in the question stream degrade the upstream, and the grading run
includes both. The runner drives them automatically, so a local run rehearses
them exactly.
- **Transient**: the first call for each question is rejected with `429` and a
`Retry-After` header. Later calls for that question succeed. Retry with
backoff and you are through.
- **Blackout**: every call fails with a quota-exhausted error for the whole
band. Nothing gets you through it. The questions still have to be handled.
## Grading uses a different book and different questions
Same generator, same categories, same shapes, same contract. Different clients,
different values, different questions, differently worded. Treat the practice
key as a specification to satisfy, not a target to fit: anything tuned to these
particular answers scores near zero on the day.

"""Valura take-home LLM gateway.
An OpenAI-compatible chat-completions proxy. Your service must send every LLM
call here (the grading environment has no other network route). It exists so
that grading is fair and measurable:
- It exposes exactly two model names: "valura-fast" and "valura-deep".
Any other model name is rejected with 400. At grading time these map to
pinned upstream snapshots; "valura-deep" is billed at 4x the tokens of
"valura-fast".
- It meters tokens per request and per question, which is how the cost
dimension of your score is measured.
- It injects upstream failures on a schedule. The grading run WILL include
both bands, and this is the same file grading uses, so you can rehearse
every failure mode locally.
transient_429 the FIRST call for each question is rejected with 429
and a Retry-After header; every later call for that same
question succeeds. Retrying gets you through it.
blackout every call is rejected with a quota-exhausted error for
the whole band. Nothing gets you through it. The
question still has to be answered, or declined honestly.
Run it:
python llm_gateway.py stub mode, no key needed
UPSTREAM_MODE=passthrough \
UPSTREAM_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1 \
UPSTREAM_API_KEY=sk-... \
MODEL_MAP_FAST=gpt-4.1-mini MODEL_MAP_DEEP=gpt-4.1 \
python llm_gateway.py real upstream through the alias map
Endpoints:
POST /v1/chat/completions OpenAI-shaped; only the two alias models
GET /health
POST /admin/chaos {"mode": "off" | "transient_429" | "blackout"}
POST /admin/mark {"question_id": "..."} attribute usage to a question
GET /admin/usage token and request accounting, per question
POST /admin/reset zero the meters and chaos state
Stub mode returns a fixed acknowledgement string and estimated token usage. It
exists to exercise plumbing, retries and failure handling without spending
anything; it does not understand your prompts. Develop the reasoning path
against a real upstream (your own key or a local OpenAI-compatible server).
Environment: GATEWAY_PORT (default 8600), UPSTREAM_MODE (stub|passthrough),
UPSTREAM_BASE_URL, UPSTREAM_API_KEY, MODEL_MAP_FAST, MODEL_MAP_DEEP,
TOKEN_CAP_BILLED (default 1000000; beyond it every request fails with 429
insufficient_quota, which is exactly what a blown budget does in production).
The reference service finishes a whole run on about 8,000 billed tokens, so
the cap leaves room for a build a hundred times chattier than that. What it
does not leave room for is loading whole client records into the prompt: the
book contains clients far too large for that, and a run that tries spends the
back half of the paper on 429s.
Standard library only. No auth: it is only ever reachable inside the isolated
assessment network.

"""The judged dimension: 4 marks of 100, for free-text answer quality.
Everything else in this assessment is decided by code. This is the residual
that cannot be: whether the prose a human would read is clear, complete and
honest about its own limits. It is deliberately a minority of the score, and it
is run with the controls that make a judge worth having at all.
Rubric published below, verbatim, and shipped to candidates.
Run three times per answer, independently, at temperature 0.
The median is taken per criterion, not the mean.
The spread is reported. Where the three runs disagree by more than the
tolerance on a question, that question's judge marks are VOIDED and the
question is redistributed, rather than averaged into a number that looks
precise and is not.
An unstable judge is not a judge. If more than a quarter of questions void,
the run reports the judged dimension as not assessed and the machine score of
95 stands alone, because at that point the rubric is measuring the judge rather
than the candidate.

answering service for a regulated investment platform. You are grading ONLY the
quality of the natural-language prose. Correctness of figures, citations,
abstention and refusal are graded separately by machine, and you must not
reward or penalise them here.
Score each criterion from 0 to 5.
1. CLARITY. Would a back-office user understand this immediately? Plain
language, no jargon left unexplained, no padding. 5 = a colleague could act
on it as written. 0 = unreadable or evasive.
2. COMPLETENESS FOR THE READER. Does it say what the reader needs, including
the period, the currency and the basis where those matter? 5 = nothing
important is left implicit. 0 = a bare number or an empty string where
context was needed.
3. HONESTY ABOUT LIMITS. Where the service declined, abstained, flagged a
conflict or hit an upstream failure, does the prose explain WHY in terms the
reader can act on, without overclaiming and without apologising vaguely?
5 = the reader knows exactly what is and is not known, and what to do next.
0 = a limit is asserted with no reason, or a limit is hidden behind
confident phrasing. Score 3 if no limit applied to this answer.
Do not reward length. Do not reward markdown formatting. A short answer that
says everything necessary scores higher than a long one that buries it.
