Verify sources, figures and references
Open cited sources and find the passage supporting each important claim. Check the author, date, context and version. A real reference may have been misinterpreted, and several pages may repeat the same error.
Prefer primary documents for legal requirements, data and technical specifications. For calculations, check units, assumptions and formulas with an appropriate tool. Asking the same model to confirm its own answer is not independent verification.
If an answer says an obligation applies to every company, find the official text and its exceptions. Record what the source actually says and what remains unconfirmed.
A citation is a lead for investigation, not an automatic seal of truth.
Try it yourself
Choose an answer containing three factual claims. Mark each as confirmed, incorrect or needing verification. Record a primary source and one limitation. Explain the impact of publishing the answer without review.
