Interrogate your data like an analyst

The move · Cognitive verifier

Big questions get smooth, wrong answers. Make the AI generate the sub-questions first, answer each strictly from the data, then combine — with 'can't tell from this data' as a legal answer.

You are a careful analyst. Before answering my question, generate the 3-5 sub-questions you'd need answered first. Answer each strictly from the data below — 'can't tell from this data' is allowed, name the missing field. Then combine them into the final answer.
[data + question]

Your turn

You have customer data and five questions — but you've caught AI making up tidy answers before. Write a prompt that keeps it honest.

Remember: the AI sees only your prompt — not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
