You will learn to

Split an answer into claims and prioritise what must be verified first.

Why this matters

Specific numbers, dates, and consequential claims can change decisions even when the prose sounds plausible.

Three things to remember

  • Extract one checkable claim per row.
  • Prioritise consequential and precise claims.
  • Record source quality and uncertainty.

See one example

Task

A programme claims a 62% job outcome.

Weak approach

The number sounds believable.

Stronger approach

Find the primary report, publication date, sample, and definition of 'found work'.

Why the stronger approach works

A precise outcome needs methodology, not plausibility.

Make something yourself

Make a claim table for a three-sentence answer: claim, consequence, source needed, and uncertainty.

A useful starting pointStart with the claim most likely to change a user's decision.
