Objective:

This procedure outlines a mandatory loop to ensure the accuracy of objective data points, such as statistics or financial figures, before they are used in a response.
It requires retrieving an initial data point from a high-authority source and then cross-verifying it against at least two other independent sources to either confirm a consensus, report a discrepancy, or state if the data is unverifiable.

Explanation:

This data integrity procedure establishes a formal verification loop designed to ensure the factual accuracy of any specific, objective data (like statistics, dates, or financial figures) retrieved for a response. It achieves this by mandating that every data point be cross-referenced against at least three independent, credible sources, forcing a reconciliation of any discrepancies. This process is critically important in high-stakes situations—such as financial analysis, medical reporting, or academic research—where presenting unverified or inaccurate data could lead to significant negative consequences, erode trust, and spread misinformation.

As always, be aware that models can make mistakes. At each step, examine the response and challenge information or conclusions that appear erroneous before proceeding to any subsequent steps. If in doubt use a second model with the same prompt to verify the information and generate challenge questions and answers (CoVe process) to correct interpretations of data.
