Write the claim precisely: capability, product version, population, comparison, date, and condition. Then find the original source and inspect method, scope, uncertainty, incentives, and contrary evidence.
Match confidence and review to stakes. A benchmark, demo, testimonial, annual report, and primary study support different conclusions.
Example
“AI is 90% accurate”
Ask on which dataset, metric, subgroup, version, baseline, date, and failure cost before using the number.
