Hallucinations and checks

A hallucination is confident, wrong content — often mixed with real names or plausible structure. Real product names do not make a fake policy line true.

At work

• Board numbers need sources.
• Policy claims need the handbook or owner.
• Client promises need operations, not model tone.

Habit

**Verify before you act.** Use a second model to critique, then still check primary sources for anything that costs money or reputation.
