The set
A check is named so the team can ask for it. Run one, or run the floor. The verb stays the same.
01
Check factual claims: dates, names, events, cause and effect. The truth check does not invent a better paragraph. It marks the sentence that sounds finished and is not.
Looks for settled language around numbers, history, science, and news. Held if it can stand. Flag if the verb or the year is off. Drop if it is a known falsehood.
02
Check whether a number, a study, or a quote has a receipt. Models like to sound cited. The source check asks for the actual record.
Percents, dollar figures, “according to,” and named papers without a trail get flagged. A check is not complete because the sentence has a year in it.
03
Check superlatives and guarantees. Always, never, first, only, most accurate, never hallucinates. Cheap for a model. Expensive once a reader believes them.
The overclaim check does not rewrite the line. It asks you to hedge it, source it, or cut it.
04
Check for medical promises, legal certainty, and personal data the model should not have made up. A line can fail a check for more than being wrong.
Use this before a support reply, a health caption, or anything that tells a person what to do with their body or their money.
05
Check for canned phrasing, recycled factoids, and the tell of a model that is padding. Not a plagiarism court. A smell test with notes.
“A mature tree produces enough oxygen for ten people” is the kind of line this check was built to catch.
06
Check the output against itself. Two dates for one event. A total that does not add. A hedge in paragraph one and a guarantee in paragraph three.
The consistency check is for long drafts — briefs, pages, memos — where a model can forget what it already said.
