What source checks are needed before publishing AI-assisted ORM content?
In brief
Treat generated copy as a draft, not as evidence. Verify the facts and citations against the original sources before the text becomes part of the public account.
Check each consequential statement for the correct entity, date, scope, and current status. Open the cited source and confirm it supports the exact claim. A real URL can still be irrelevant, an old version can be presented as current, and a citation can point to another summary rather than the underlying record.
Test the reasoning as well as individual facts. Generated text can connect true statements into an unsupported conclusion, turn a possibility into a promise, or attribute one subsidiary’s experience to an entire group. Company policy, credentials, and claimed results need authorized evidence rather than plausible wording.
Keep a source record for the published version and have a person with subject knowledge resolve uncertainties. Rewrite the answer around what the evidence establishes; remove claims that remain unsupported. Strong editing preserves useful specificity while cutting invented authority, repetitive qualification, and confident filler.
