1. Does a confident AI response verify the underlying facts?
Show answer and why
Answer: No. Check the original source, date and reporting period.
Why: A plausible response can contain invented or outdated information.
2. What makes a material claim checkable?
Show answer and why
Answer: A specific claim linked to its original source, observation date and relevant units.
Why: Those details let you distinguish evidence from an unsupported interpretation.
3. Does an AI interpretation establish a suitable personal investment decision?
Show answer and why
Answer: No. Treat it as a research aid and identify what remains unverified.
Why: A response does not account for every personal constraint or guarantee an outcome.
