Pair-Guide Bad Clips

Four BAD clips per the judge pair-guide — two for “mid-turn pause” (inappropriate barge-in) and two for “response gap” (4–5 s delayed transition, per the guide's severity). LLM-authored scripts, Fish + studio voices, labeled with measured onsets.

Left channel = speaker A, right = speaker B. Not blind — parameters shown per clip.

Pair 1 — Mid-turn pause (BAD clip)

Guide: 'Assistant mistakes the pause for completion and begins speaking over the user.' Here: a speaker pauses mid-sentence; the other lunges in with a floor-grab; the first resumes and talks over it. Tests: inappropriate barge-in.

Pair 4 — Response gap (BAD clip)

Guide: 'Identical response begins after an awkward 4–5-second silence.' Here: the reply lands after a 4.3–4.5 s dead gap, then the conversation proceeds normally. Tests: delayed transition.
