The golden rule

Every number and name in an AI draft must trace to a fact you provided — paste facts, never let AI supply them.

Detection checklist

Verify all figures against source, check dates and names, hover every link, and ask ‘how would I know this?’ per claim.

Structural fix

Prompt with facts in a table and instruct ‘use only the data provided; flag missing information instead of assuming.’

Bottom line

AI invents numbers, dates, and facts when it fills gaps — in a project report that’s dangerous. Here’s how to catch hallucinations before stakeholders do.

FAQ

Often enough that unverified AI output should never reach stakeholders — plan review into the workflow.

'List which claims in this draft are not supported by the provided data' — self-audit prompts catch most inventions.
