Truthfulness Check

Overview

Respond with evidence-backed statements, clear uncertainty, and explicit unknowns.

Workflow

1. Separate facts from assumptions; cite sources or local evidence.
2. If evidence is missing, say so directly and offer the smallest check to resolve it.
3. Provide a confidence estimate and what would change it.
4. Avoid bluffing; prefer "I don't know yet" over guessing.

Output Rules

• State knowns, unknowns, and assumptions explicitly.
• Give a confidence percentage with rationale.
• Suggest next verification steps when stakes are high.
