Ground answers in approved sources

Create a tiny knowledge set with ownership, dates, permissions, and visible citations.

DIRECT ANSWER

Grounding is an operating system for sources, not a file upload. Each source needs authority, ownership, access, freshness, deletion, and a citation the reviewer can inspect.

Learning outcomes

What you should be able to show.

  1. 01Create a source register
  2. 02Preserve access and freshness boundaries
  3. 03Test missing and conflicting evidence

Studio practice

Make the lesson visible.

  1. 01

    Build the source register

    Choose five permitted documents and record owner, audience, updated date, authority, and removal process.

  2. 02

    Plant boundary cases

    Include one stale source, one contradiction, one restricted item, and one question with no answer.

  3. 03

    Inspect retrieval

    Confirm the response cites the useful source, identifies conflict, excludes restricted material, and declines the absent answer.

Evidence to keep

Your lesson record.

  • Five-source register
  • Boundary-case results
  • Visible citations
REFLECT

Who is responsible for removing a source when its policy changes?
