The move

The move: ask AI to list the assumptions and risks you might be missing.

Practice task

Try it now

Ask AI to review one of its previous answers for assumptions and risks.

Self-check

  • Facts and assumptions are listed separately, not blended together.
  • Each assumption comes with the risk if it turns out wrong.
  • You know exactly what to verify before acting.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Asking what are the risks without separating facts from assumptions.
  • Skimming the list instead of checking the items you can verify.
  • Acting on the original answer before closing the risky gaps.
