arXiv:2605.14517v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Holistic evaluation scores capture overall output quality but do not distinguish whether a model reproduced the structural form of a user's request from whether it preserved the user's specific intent. We propose a dimension-level intent fidelity evaluation framework, applied here through a structured prompt ablation study across 2,880 outputs spanning three languages, three task domains, and six LLMs, that separately measures structural recovery and intent fidelity for each semantic dimension. This framework reveals a systematic structural-fidelity split: among Chinese-language outputs with complete paired scores, 25.7% received perfect holistic alignment scores (GA=5) while exhibiting measurable dimensional intent deficits; among English-language outputs, this proportion rose to 58.6%. Human evaluation confirmed that these split-zone outputs represent genuine quality deficits and that dimensional fidelity scores track human judgements more reliably than holistic scores do. A public-private decomposition of 2,520 ablation cells characterises when models successfully compensate for missing intent and when they fail, while proxy annotation distinguishes prior inferability from default recoverability. A weight-perturbation experiment shows that moderate misalignment is typically absorbed, whereas severe dimensional inversion is consistently harmful. These findings demonstrate that dimension-level intent fidelity evaluation is a necessary complement to holistic assessment when evaluating LLM outputs for user-specific tasks.
