1.6 Use the 5C Check

Claim → Currency → Context → Citation → Corroboration.

Before using an important AI-generated answer, run the five checks:

CLAIM — What am I relying on?
CURRENCY — Is it current?
CONTEXT — Does it apply here?
CITATION — Can I verify the original source?
CORROBORATION — Does other reliable evidence support it?

Remember: AI can accelerate your work. It cannot take responsibility for your evidence.
