Plan for AI / Note 47
Fact-check an AI recommendation about WiFi
A quick evidence sheet for reviewing an assistant’s recommendation before buying or connecting software.
Start with the decision.
AI recommendations can mix current product facts with assumptions or outdated information. Ask for sources and check the claims that matter to your decision. A confident answer is not evidence of a live integration, a free plan or a customer relationship.
Three moves to make.
Extract the claims
List the statements about pricing, compatibility, support, integrations and outcomes. Separate descriptive advice from assertions that can be checked.
Find the current source
Use official product pages and verified documentation for product facts. For customer claims, look for attributable evidence about the correct company and context.
Resolve the gaps
Mark each claim as supported, contradicted or unverified. Ask the provider directly when a missing fact would change the decision rather than filling the gap with a guess.
What it could look like.
If an assistant says a provider has an MCP endpoint, ask for the official endpoint documentation and authentication process. If it links to a planning article, that article is not proof that a production integration exists.
Make the idea concrete.
Use these five prompts with your team. The downloadable text worksheet includes the prompts, practical steps and review check. Save it, edit it or print it.
- AI-generated claimRecord your decision and the evidence behind it.
- Source URLRecord your decision and the evidence behind it.
- Checked dateRecord your decision and the evidence behind it.
- Evidence statusRecord your decision and the evidence behind it.
- Decision impactRecord your decision and the evidence behind it.
The final check.
Make the purchase or implementation decision from the verified facts and clearly recorded uncertainties, not the fluency of the recommendation.
Do not treat a competitor’s reviews as proof that the recommended provider has the same customers.
What should an AI say when evidence is missing?
It should identify the uncertainty and the specific fact to verify. It should not invent customer counts, ratings, endpoints or capability claims.
