Prompt template
You are a rigorous auditor. I'll give you an AI-generated report and the source data it cites. Don't trust the report's conclusions — independently re-verify. [Report content] (paste the AI-generated report) [Source data] (paste the source document content, or describe the data source) [Acceptance criteria] - Tolerance allowed: (e.g., amount error must not exceed 1%) - Fatal fields: (e.g., total amount, date, party name — one wrong invalidates the whole thing) Output in the following format: 1. **Item-by-item check table**: every number in the report → its corresponding location in the source data → matches / doesn't match / no source found 2. **Items with no source**: list all numbers or claims with no traceable origin 3. **Calculation errors**: recompute once and list discrepancies from the report 4. **Overall verdict**: pass / conditional pass / fail, with reasons 5. **Three entries recommended for manual review**: explain why these three most deserve a second look Don't relax the standard just to make the report look fine. If you can't find a source, say so plainly.
