Always-Check List
The claim types that get human verification before anything goes out, every time, regardless of how right the draft looks. Output sounds equally certain whether it is correct or invented, so this cannot be an instinct — it has to be a list.
Syntax
tenant-onboarding
After the draft, list every factual claim it contains that I should
verify before sending — prices, numbers, dates, credentials, guarantees,
and any efficacy claim. If the draft contains none, say so.
If you do not have a fact you need, write [CONFIRM: what is needed]
rather than filling it in. Do not estimate, approximate, or use a
placeholder that looks like a real value.Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| price or total | claim | Verify against the rate sheet and re-do the arithmetic. You are bound to what you send. |
| licence / registration number | claim | Verify against the actual document. Misstatement is a regulatory problem. |
| insurance type and limit | claim | Verify against the current certificate. |
| warranty or guarantee | claim | Verify against your written terms. You must honour what you publish. |
| turnaround or arrival time | claim | Verify against the actual schedule. |
| certification / set-aside status | claim | Verify against registration records. On a federal bid this is serious. |
| years in business, staff or job counts | claim | Verify against reality. Small inaccuracy, large credibility cost. |
| efficacy claim ("removes 99% of…") | claim | Requires a citable source, or it does not ship. |
| any claim about a competitor | claim | Do not make one. Legal exposure, no upside. |
Example
tenant-onboarding
Draft: "Our soft-wash process removes 99.9% of mould spores and is
safe for all siding types."
Both halves fail. The percentage is invented. "All siding types" is a
claim you would not make out loud without first asking what the siding
is. Nothing in the sentence LOOKS wrong — which is why the list exists.
