Summary

Mark what comes from original data, what is interpretation, and what has no source. Using AI well does not mean believing faster; it means having a review method suited to the importance of the work.

Schematic illustration: Facts → Source → Confirmation.

A common situation

Illustrative scenario: An employee is about to send a summary to a customer because its wording sounds so certain. On closer reading, she cannot find a source for one number. At that moment, stopping to check is more valuable than sending quickly.

Three steps you can try

  1. Separate facts from interpretation.
  2. Reopen the original source.
  3. Remove unsupported content or mark it as unconfirmed.

What to remember

Mark what comes from original data, what is interpretation, and what has no source. Using AI well does not mean believing faster; it means having a review method suited to the importance of the work.

This is a hypothetical illustration, not an ACC customer testimonial or project result.
