You will learn to
Break an answer into claims and match each one to current primary evidence.
Why this matters
A relevant-looking link may be outdated or unable to support the exact number claimed.
Three things to remember
- Verify status, number, and date separately.
- Prefer the responsible institution's current source.
- State what could not be verified.
See one example
Task
An answer cites an undated blog for a current count.
Weak approach
A citation exists, so the claim is sourced.
Stronger approach
Check status and count separately against dated primary sources; mark unsupported claims unverified.
Why the stronger approach works
Claim-level evidence stops one weak citation from appearing to prove a paragraph.
Make something yourself
Build a three-claim table with source, date, verdict, and uncertainty.
A useful starting pointUse supported, contradicted, or not verified rather than a vague score.
