Work out the honest version of a claim
Find the strongest claim the evidence actually supports.
What this prompt helps you do
The defensible version, what was overstated, and the caveats that must travel with it.
When to use it
A draft makes a claim that is more confident than the evidence behind it.
What to prepare
The goal, relevant source material, constraints, examples, and the decision or action this should support.
How to get a strong result
Find the strongest true claim rather than hedging the false one; hedged overstatement is still overstatement.
