WHAT YOU’LL PRACTICE

Label source material and preserve its authority boundary. Identify instructions embedded in untrusted documents. Use the minimum appropriate information in an AI task.
Use a worked example to communicate the desired transformation. Choose a useful output structure. Distinguish correct formatting from factual correctness.
Define acceptance criteria before comparing outputs. Test normal, missing and conflicting evidence cases. Interpret small test results without overstating reliability.
Verify claims and citations against supplied sources. Recalculate important quantities independently. Correct an output without concealing uncertainty.
Document inputs, review steps and human decision boundaries. Version prompts and retain failed cases. Explain a practical AI work sample without overstating experience.
