Audit Claims and Citations

The key question is not “Does the report have citations?” It is “Does each material claim accurately represent an identifiable, appropriate source?” This exercise creates a repeatable release gate.

Create a claim-citation ledger

TRY THIS PROMPT

Turn the report into an audit object.

Break the report into material factual claims. For each claim, list its cited source or sources and assign one status: supported, partly supported, unsupported, citation inaccessible, or not yet checked. Do not mark a claim supported unless I have told you I opened the source and confirmed it.

Unchecked claims remain explicitly unchecked.
