Prevention is mostly workflow: clearer instructions, better sources, and a consistent check before sharing.
You can’t guarantee zero errors, but you can reduce the odds of unsupported claims making it into your final content.
The idea: make “guessing” harder, and make verification easier.
For numbers, quotes, and factual claims, require references or citations.
Tell the system what it can and can’t invent, and what to do if info is missing.
Run a quick risk check first, then verify the essentials with trusted references.
It’s most useful for generated drafts, but the verification mindset applies to any content you plan to cite or share.
Verify hard claims first: numbers, dates, and anything that needs evidence.
No. But you can reduce the frequency and impact by using a consistent workflow.
It acts as a first-pass triage so you know where to spend your verification time.
