How we check the assistant’s work

Every output gets one pass before it goes anywhere. Not a full audit — a targeted check of the parts most likely to be wrong.

The checklist

1. Numbers: recompute anything that matters.
2. Names and dates: confirm against the source.
3. Citations: open the link; make sure it says what we claim.
4. Code: run it. Always run it.

Ask Atlas to list its own assumptions at the end of a task. It’s a fast way to spot the shaky parts.
