In this lesson
Source of truth
Define which data the assistant may rely on. When an answer is absent, it should say so rather than fill the gap with a guess.
Targeted correction
Change one cause at a time and record its effect. Many simultaneous edits make improvement or regression hard to explain.
Safe stopping
Teach the assistant to stop or request human review for high-impact decisions, low confidence, or conflicting sources.
Key takeaways
- ✓Define the source of truth.
- ✓Change one factor per experiment.
- ✓Design a safe stopping path.
Practice now
Choose one test failure, write its likely cause, change one rule, and compare the before and after results.
