Your move
Name the source AI must use
A specific source is easier to verify than a confident answer from memory.
Name the current source that is allowed to answer the question and require the draft to show where material facts came from. Model memory is not an authority rule.
Do this now
Three moves, in order.
- Choose the canonical record for each material fact in this job.
- Require source names, record identifiers, or excerpts in the review copy.
- Stop when the source is missing, conflicting, stale, or outside the user's permission.

Give AI the bounded job
Prompt from your artifact—not from vibes.
Answer only from the attached approved sources. Show the source name beside every material fact. If the sources do not support an answer, say NOT SUPPORTED and list what a human must resolve.
Before you use it
The work leaves your hands only when:
- Every material fact has visible support.
- The source has authority for this decision.
- Unsupported certainty fails the job.
