Check every number in this answer. **Per number, determine which it is:** 1. **Given** — I provided it. ***Confirm it was carried over unchanged*** 2. **Calculated** — derived from given numbers. ***Recheck the arithmetic and show the steps*** 3. **Recalled** — the model produced it from training. ***This is the dangerous one*** 4. **Estimated** — presented as an approximation **For everything in group 3:** - **Is it presented as fact?** A recalled figure written without a qualifier is the failure mode - **Does it have a time dependency?** Prices, rates, versions, population, rankings — **these go stale and the answer will not say so** - **Is it too precise?** ***A figure like 47.3% carries more precision than recall supports*** **Also check:** - **Units and scale** — thousands vs millions, currency, before/after tax - **Whether percentages add up**, and whether a percentage of a percentage was taken correctly - **Base of comparison** — "twice as much" as what - **Whether a total matches its parts** **Output:** the number / type / problem / what to do. ⚠️ ***Do not replace a number you cannot verify with a different number.*** **Mark it and say where to get it.** If a calculation is needed and the inputs are missing, **say what is missing rather than estimating.**

What this prompt does
A number is given, calculated, or recalled — and only the last is dangerous, yet it looks identical. This classifies each one and refuses to replace an unverifiable figure with another figure.
