Section titled “Tips & Best Practices”- Citations as you go: requiring [S1]-style citations on every claim is the single best hallucination control for synthesis work.
- Grade, don’t flatten: forcing STRONG/MODERATE/WEAK labels stops the model from presenting one blog post and a meta-analysis with equal confidence.
- Preserve disagreement: models instinctively harmonize conflicting sources — explicitly instruct them to surface dissent.
- Steelman the other side: in decision memos, demand honest counterarguments; a memo with no real risks section is advocacy, not analysis.
