# AI-Generated Claim Audit

Find factual claims introduced by an AI system, trace them to reliable evidence, and keep, qualify, rewrite, or remove each unsupported assertion.

## Usage note

Assume every checkable statement needs evidence regardless of how plausible or confident it sounds. Do not use another unverified AI answer as the source for the first.

## How to use this template

1. Preserve the prompt, approved sources, exact generated output, and final-review version.
2. Extract every atomic checkable claim and identify what the system added or expanded.
3. Trace citations and statements to primary, current, relevant evidence independently.
4. Apply a keep, qualify, rewrite, remove, or escalation decision to every row.
5. Recheck the complete final asset and use recurring failures to redesign or stop the workflow.
