Design inspectable AI citations

Build source inspection into the reading path of an evidence-based AI answer.

Goal

Build source inspection into the reading path of an evidence-based AI answer.

Step-by-step

  1. Map claims to actual evidence.
  2. provide a concise preview.
  3. expose retrieval failures.
  4. allow a reader to challenge an irrelevant source.

Worked scenario

Review an answer about contract renewal beside the relevant clause.

Write down the current behavior, the intended change, and the evidence you would need before deciding it worked. Use synthetic or anonymized material for exploration.

Acceptance check

A reader can trace one important claim to an identifiable passage.

Common failure

A convincing artifact can hide untested assumptions. Keep an explicit list of unknowns and test the highest-consequence transition before expanding the work.

Next step

Apply the guide to one bounded task, review the evidence, and adjust the approach. The linked reference is a separate publication; this guide is Knoveya's independent treatment of the topic.
