What to do next
Break the answer into claims
Highlight factual statements, numbers, quotations, and recommendations. Separate evidence from the model’s interpretation.
Read the primary material
Open the source and find the supporting passage. Check publication dates, definitions, geography, and whether the page describes the same situation.
Resolve disagreement
Look for an independent primary source when facts conflict. Rewrite uncertain claims or leave them out, and keep the exact links used.
