The short answer
Check names, papers, links and numbers especially carefully. Agreement from another model is not a substitute for original evidence.
Try it in three steps
- Select three checkable factual claims from an answer.
- Ask for a supporting source passage for each.
- Remove unsupported claims or label them unverified.
A practice prompt
Before you start
Check three answer statements against the supplied practice source.
Practice material (fictional)
Source: The trial used 10 anonymous records and did not measure time saved. Answer: It processed 10 records; covered every order; saved 20 hours monthly.Replace placeholders in the prompt with this material, or append the material if there are no placeholders. Reading time excludes doing the exercise.
Separate facts, inferences and advice. Attach a working supporting source to each fact or mark it unverified.What to look for (not a recorded test result)
Only the first statement is supported. Remove or flag the others rather than accepting plausible-looking numbers.
If it goes wrong
A page about a related topic does not count as evidence for the specific claim.
Check your result
Facts have locatable evidence and inferences are clearly identified.
