A benchmark task maps an agent to a heat-pump warranty queue
The screenshot shows a Harbor Hub task description for an agent that must work a heat-pump warranty exception queue for a fictional German commercial HVAC manufacturer.
It explains that a real-world warranty operations analyst would handle the queue as part of the manufacturer’s warranty desk workflow, deciding whether to pay, deny, repair, hold, or request evidence while documenting the controlling business records for audit. The framing suggests the task is designed to test how well an agent can follow a realistic, multi-step back-office workflow.
