Module 05 Summary

What this module established

Grounded answering needs an explicit decline path in the design, a citation id that resolves to a document and a date, and a check comparing each claim against the chunk it cites. A citation is a claim about provenance, and like any claim it needs verifying - attaching an id is a formatting operation, not a guarantee.

Carry forward

• Quote when the qualifier carries the risk. Paraphrase compresses, and compression is where a scope limit quietly disappears.
• An answer can cite a real chunk that does not support it, and every superficial check passes. Compare the claim terms against the cited text.
• The grounding prompt is a short list where every line names a failure. It moves the rate; the eval set tells you by how much.

Before moving on

Move on when the support check runs over every answer your system produces, and you have classified its three worst flags as real failures or false positives.
