Core takeaway
A polished answer is not automatically a correct or complete answer. Review the evidence path and the user outcome separately.
Check grounding
Confirm that important claims trace back to an approved source and that the source actually supports the claim being made.
- No invented citations
- No outdated facts presented as current
- Conflicts surfaced
- Uncertainty labeled
Check instruction alignment
Verify that the agent followed the user’s real goal, respected scope, and did not take consequential actions without authority.
Check the handoff
The output should state what changed, what was verified, what remains blocked, and the safest next action. A useful answer leaves the user oriented.
