Add Verification and Safeguards

Work through the explanation, apply it to the example, and complete the quick check before continuing.

Verification and safeguard overlay showing material claim checks, evidence status labels, responsible-use controls with named owners, and a stop condition for conflicting material sources.
Verify every material claim with an independent method, record the evidence status, add controls for named risks, and stop instead of publishing when material sources conflict.
Text description of the visual

The figure shows two layers added to the capstone workflow. The evidence layer asks learners to list each material claim, choose an independent verification method, and record whether the evidence is supported, contradicted, partly supported, or unresolved. The safeguard layer shows controls for data, security, fairness, accessibility, and rights, plus two operating rules: treat external content as untrusted and restrict permissions and actions before use. It also reminds learners to name the owner of every material control. The stop condition says that if sources conflict on a material fact, the claim should be marked unresolved, sent to the named owner, and not published or acted on. The final reminder says that controls must address named risks, and that a disclaimer is not a substitute for safe design.

List every material claim and its independent verification method. Record supported, contradicted, partly supported, or unresolved evidence.

Use the responsible-use worksheet to add relevant data, security, fairness, accessibility, and rights controls. Treat external content as untrusted. Restrict permissions and actions. Name the owner of every material control.

Write at least one explicit stop condition:

Stop if sources conflict on a material fact. Mark the claim unresolved and send it to the named owner. Do not publish or act.

Controls must address named risks. A disclaimer is not a substitute for safe design.
