Scenario

A teammate wants to use an AI answer in a client briefing. They propose this prompt: "Be accurate, cite sources, and double-check yourself." The topic affects a recommendation, so the answer needs more than fluent wording or model confidence.

Select all that apply

Keep the prompt because asking for accuracy proves the answer.Ask for traceable sources and exact passages for key claims.Check the important claims against independent sources before using them.Ask the model to review its own answer one more time.
