Keep the source attached to the claim
Provide the source text, date and relevant context, not just a title or link the model may be unable to open. Ask for supporting passages and unresolved gaps. Several articles repeating the same press release do not necessarily provide independent evidence.
What to prepare
Research question, supplied sources, publication dates, audience and scope.
A useful starting brief
Fictional input example: One report says usage rose 20 percent; another says it rose by 20 percentage points. Here are the underlying figures and definitions. Determine whether the claims describe the same calculation and show the arithmetic.
Check before you use the result
Recheck the original source yourself, especially for time-sensitive or high-stakes facts. An AI can help organise a verification task, but a confident explanation is not proof. Record what remains unknown before publication.
