AI+ for Critical Evaluation

Fact-Check, Quality-Control and Trust AI Output Intelligently

Trust AI output — after you've checked it, not before.

You've used AI to draft something — a report, a summary, a proposal — and now you're not sure which parts to trust. This book gives you a structured evaluation system for any AI output: six failure modes to recognise, the TRUST framework applied in depth, a 33-prompt Critical Evaluation Toolkit, and a verification approach calibrated to the stakes. You'll know exactly what to check, how to check it, and when a quick scan is enough.

Inside

33 ready-made, market-tested prompts: fact verification, citation checking, statistic validation, calculation review, structured-output QA, audit trail
The TRUST Framework applied in depth — Traceable, Relevant, Unbiased, Specific, Timely — across every output type
A six-failure-mode catalogue — recognising which type of error is most likely for which type of task
A stakes-calibrated verification approach — quick scan, structured check, or full audit depending on consequence
A 30-day plan for researchers, analysts, communications professionals, managers, students, and any AI user who needs to stand behind their work

Who this is for

Any professional or student who uses AI tools regularly and needs to trust what comes out. The researcher who gets a lit review draft from an AI and isn't sure which citations to verify. The analyst who receives an AI-generated summary and wonders what it missed. The communications professional who edits AI-drafted copy and suspects something's slightly off but can't pinpoint it. The manager who reviews AI-generated reports before signing off. The student submitting AI-assisted work and needing to stand behind every claim. Cross-industry and cross-level — the skill is identical whether the output is a legal summary, a lab report, or a marketing brief.

Also for:Team leaders and quality managers building organisational standards for AI output review; L&D professionals designing AI adoption training; academics and researchers where output quality has stakes.

You’ll be able to
