# AI answer checking worksheet

Use only information you are permitted to share. This worksheet helps organise verification; it does not replace expert advice for consequential decisions.

- Task:
- Date checked:
- Tool and version, if known:
- Original question:
- Where will the answer be used?
- Who owns the decision or must approve the final version?
- Are this tool and these source materials approved for the task?

## Checks

- [ ] Separate factual claims from opinions and suggestions.
- [ ] Open the original sources.
- [ ] Find the passage that supports each exact claim.
- [ ] Check dates, location, scope, exceptions and product version.
- [ ] Recalculate important numbers and confirm units and denominators.
- [ ] Record uncertainty and disagreements.
- [ ] Correct, qualify or remove unsupported statements before use.
- [ ] Follow workplace rules and obtain any required sign-off.

## Evidence table

| Claim | Original source and passage | Date checked | Verdict | Correction or next action |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | Supported / contradicted / outdated / unverified | |

## Final decision

- What is safe to use?
- What needs more evidence?
- Who needs to review it?
- What did you change yourself?

Agreement between AI tools is not proof. A citation must exist and support the claim; a confidence score is not independent verification.
