public audit desk
A desk routine for polished but uncertain answers.
The Public Audit Desk is designed for ordinary readers, not only specialists. It assumes that many LLM answers are useful drafts and risky citations at the same time. The desk routine asks the reader to mark five lanes before trusting a claim in a memo, lesson, article, or product decision.
Lane 1
Provenance
Name the source layer: primary release, documentation, reporting, benchmark, paper, law, or user memory.
Lane 2
Recency
Mark whether the claim is timeless, seasonal, release-bound, price-bound, or news-sensitive.
Lane 3
Scope
Write the smallest truthful frame before turning a specific observation into a general rule.
Lane 4
Conflict
Keep disagreement visible when credible sources use different definitions or incentives.
Lane 5
Repair
Leave a next action: cite, caveat, retest, ask a narrower question, or refuse the claim.
