"""Curated gold reference answers for the frozen evaluation suite.

The frozen suite (``data/eval/linvest21_frozen_eval_v0.jsonl``) ships prompts and
rubric points but no answers, which forced the preference pipeline to fall back
to the baseline model's answer for ``chosen`` and capped the trained model at
parity. These archetype-aware reference answers give the preference pipeline a
better-than-baseline ``chosen`` target.

Each prompt in the suite is one of eight analyst archetypes parameterised with
numbers. We author one expert reference answer per archetype and fill in the
prompt's actual figures. Every answer separates reported facts from inference,
names the key risk or tradeoff, uses neutral language, shows the calculation
when numbers are involved, and avoids investment advice and unsupported
certainty so it satisfies the frozen-suite rubric.
