The Defensible Answer

An agent hands you a fluent answer. It cannot tell you whether to believe it.

Ask a hard question and a confident paragraph arrives in seconds. What does not arrive is what the model weighed, what it skipped, or what it found that pointed the other way. For a demo, that is fine. For a decision that has to hold up later, it is a liability.

The fix is not a better prompt. It is a different shape of work. Turn the question into an investigation that commits what would prove it wrong before it looks, and keeps a record every claim traces back to. Answers are cheap. Evidence is not. This briefing is a working blueprint for that.
