Produce Percentiles Without Hiding Ties

A rank and percentile sheet that makes tie policy, population, and exclusions explicit.

Works on any free AI  ·  Best tool:  Any AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)
ROLE: Act as a score-reporting analyst who preserves ties and denominator transparency.

CONTEXT: The teacher provides [SCORE CSV], [ELIGIBILITY RULE], [TIE METHOD], and [PERCENTILE CONVENTION].

INPUTS — FILL EVERY PLACEHOLDER:
- [SCORE CSV]
- [ELIGIBILITY RULE]
- [TIE METHOD]
- [PERCENTILE CONVENTION]

SOURCE-BOUND TOOL FACTS AND EXACT URL WHITELIST:
- [PACK_GOOGLE_SHEETS] Paste-only fact from the pack design: output rectangular CSV plus explicit Google Sheets formulas with column letters and first/last row references. Never claim that a link creates or uploads the sheet, and include validation rows for blanks, non-numeric marks and duplicate IDs.
- [WOLFRAMALPHA] Whitelist: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i={ENCODED_PLAIN_CALCULATOR_QUERY}. It recomputes a claim but does not prove surrounding reasoning; steps may require Pro.

DO THIS:
1. Validate one numeric total per eligible anonymous StudentID and quarantine duplicates.
2. Emit paste-ready CSV with schema StudentID,TotalScore,Eligible,TieGroup,Rank,Percentile.
3. Provide Sheets formulas using explicit row 2 and last-row references for the supplied rank and percentile conventions.
4. Create an error queue for missing totals, duplicate IDs, ineligible rows, and conflicting tie instructions.
5. Show score frequency and tie size beside every reported percentile.
6. Do not treat percentile association with any background variable as causal evidence.

WORKED LINK EXAMPLE — COPY THIS EXACT ENCODING PATTERN:
Example task: Inspect the relative position of 75 in the supplied scores 50, 60, 75, 75, and 90.
Expected result or check target: The value 75 is tied, so its percentile depends on the stated convention.
check this yourself
CHECK → https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=percentile%20rank%2075%20in%2050%2C60%2C75%2C75%2C90
(paste-fallback: percentile rank 75 in 50,60,75,75,90)
Encoding note: Spaces and commas decode exactly; the checker may use a convention different from the school, so the convention must be stated.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
1. Eligibility Audit — included population and exclusions
2. Rank CSV — sorted scores with tie groups
3. Formula Block — rank and percentile formulas
4. Error Queue — rows needing teacher action
5. Reporting Note — plain-language percentile explanation

QUALITY AND TOOL GUARDRAILS:
- Never choose a percentile convention when the teacher has not supplied one.
- Never break ties by name, row order, or guessed performance.
- Keep identity data out of public rank lists.
- Do not claim percentile rank measures absolute mastery or causation.
- Copy every [PLACEHOLDER IN SQUARE BRACKETS] character-for-character in every template, code block and translated variant.
- Never output a desmos.com URL with parameters, a mathsolver.microsoft.com URL, an invented GeoGebra material ID, an invented DIKSHA code, an invented Khan topic path, or an unlisted quiz or simulation slug.
- Never describe an AI answer as verified. Every external check must be labelled “check this yourself” for the teacher or student to inspect personally.
- Do not invent exam facts, source citations, marks distributions, tool IDs or inaccessible links. Separate mathematical proof from computational checking.

=== TOOL-LINK OUTPUT CONTRACT — follow every rule exactly ===
1. You may output clickable links ONLY to: wolframalpha.com/input?i= · symbolab.com/solver?query= ·
   geogebra.org/graphing|geometry|3d|cas?command= · math.stackexchange.com/search?q= · oeis.org/search?q= ·
   artofproblemsolving.com/community/q1_ · khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query= ·
   overleaf.com/docs?encoded_snip= · latex.codecogs.com/png.image? · docs.google.com/forms/...viewform?usp=pp_url
   (Forms only with entry.N IDs I paste in) · plus any URL I give you or that appears in this prompt's whitelist table.
2. NEVER output: desmos.com links with query strings (they load blank), invented geogebra.org/m/ IDs, Khan topic
   URLs, DIKSHA dial codes, Wolfram quiz/demo slugs not in my table, or mathsolver.microsoft.com (dead site).
3. Write queries in plain calculator syntax (x^2, sqrt(x), pi, 3/4) — never LaTeX — EXCEPT Overleaf and CodeCogs
   payloads, which are LaTeX.
4. Percent-encode the query part: space→%20, +→%2B, ^→%5E, =→%3D, [→%5B, ]→%5D; in LaTeX payloads also
   \→%5C, {→%7B, }→%7D, %→%25, #→%23, &→%26, newline→%0A. GeoGebra ?command= exception: encode ONLY + as %2B;
   leave ( ) = ^ ; as typed.
5. One link per line, formatted exactly:  CHECK → <full raw URL>   (no markdown brackets, nothing after the URL).
6. Directly below every link, print:  (paste-fallback: <the un-encoded query or commands>)
7. Before printing any link, silently decode your own URL and confirm it reproduces the query character-for-character;
   rebuild it if not. If a URL would exceed 1,800 characters (Overleaf: 6,000), print only the paste-fallback.
8. Label every link "check this yourself" — never claim the link proves your answer is correct.
9. On phones these links must be opened in a browser, not an installed app — say this once at the end.
