Weak vs. better
What are the risks?
Review your recommendation and list facts, assumptions, risks, information to verify, and a safer version.
Why this works
This helps avoid blindly trusting a confident answer.
The move: ask AI to list the assumptions and risks you might be missing.
Practice task
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.
