AI Claim Review Signals
AI-assisted drafts can sound confident when claims need evidence. A claim checklist helps editors review the riskiest statements first.
Claims to review first
| Claim type | Examples | Review priority |
|---|---|---|
| Statistic | Percentages, multipliers, millions, rankings. | Needs a clear source, method, date, or dataset. |
| Date or recency | Latest, today, currently, 2026. | Needs current verification. |
| Research | Studies show, data shows, reports say. | Needs the actual study or report. |
| Medical, legal, or financial | Health advice, compliance, investment, revenue claims. | Needs qualified human review. |
| Superlative | Best, only, first, guaranteed, leading. | Needs proof or softer wording. |
Checklist, not verdictA claim checklist tells you what to verify. It does not decide whether a claim is true.
