Lesson 2: Verify Claims Before Acting
Lesson Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
- Separate facts, assumptions, and opinions in AI output.
- Identify claims needing current sources.

Lesson Content
AI output often sounds more certain than it is. Business owners should classify claims before relying on them:
Stable background: likely not time-sensitive, but still check if important.
Current fact: prices, laws, policies, software features, and availability can change.
Business-specific fact: must come from your own records.
Recommendation: depends on assumptions and criteria.
Use this verification prompt:
Review this answer. Mark every claim as stable, current-source-needed, business-record-needed, opinion, or unsupported. Then list the fastest way to verify each important claim.
