An AI response includes a factual claim you cannot verify from the supplied sources. What would you do?

Instruction: Apply guideline version 3 to each claim in the fictional packet. Return source-linked evidence statuses, the grounding acceptance decision and a rationale of no more than two sentences.

Context:

Classify four claims against a source packet, separating contradiction, absent evidence and partial support. Produce inspectable evidence records and a concise grounding rationale.

Fictional practice task

Evaluate this four-claim summary of the Tarin Pilot Grant using only the approved packet. The fictional project uses guideline version 3. External research is not allowed, and the excerpts do not establish facts they omit.

Approved source packet:

  • S1: Organizations with 5–50 employees, inclusive, meet the grant’s staff-size eligibility condition. This excerpt establishes only staff-size eligibility.
  • S2: The maximum grant is $2,000.
  • S3: Equipment purchases are permitted expenses. This excerpt provides no information about travel expenses or application review times.

AI response, split into claims:

  • C1: An organization with 12 employees meets the staff-size eligibility condition.
  • C2: The maximum grant is $3,000.
  • C3: Applications are reviewed within seven days.
  • C4: The grant can pay for equipment and travel expenses.

Allowed evidence_status labels:

  • supported: every factual part is established by the packet, with no contradiction.
  • contradicted: at least one factual part is explicitly incompatible with the packet. This takes precedence over partial or absent support.
  • absent: no factual part is supported or contradicted by the packet.
  • partial: at least one factual part is supported and another is unaddressed, with no contradiction.

Grounding acceptance rule: Mark the response acceptable only if every claim is supported; otherwise mark it not_acceptable. This is a grounding judgment. An absent claim is not thereby proven false.

Produce: One record per claim containing its ID, evidence status, decisive source IDs and a short reason. For absent evidence, use an empty decisive-source list and name the sources checked. For a partial claim, identify the supported and unaddressed parts. Then give the overall rating and a submitted rationale of no more than two sentences.

Prepare a stronger answer

I’d mark C1 supported: an organization with twelve employees falls within S1’s five-to-fifty range. C2 is contradicted because S2 gives a two-thousand-dollar cap, not three thousand...
