Check your numbers before asking for a chart

What you'll need

• Non-sensitive notes you already have containing counts or totals

Steps

1. Choose a short passage and remove any sensitive details.
2. Paste it into the prompt below in a general-purpose AI assistant.
3. Check the response against your original notes before correcting anything or requesting a chart.

Use only the text below. Write under 120 words in plain text, with no Markdown formatting, no asterisks and no # headings. Use three sections labeled Facts, Checks, and Next step. In Facts, list the stated attendance figures. In Checks, flag arithmetic inconsistencies and missing information needed to compare the sessions; do not fill gaps. In Next step, give one verification action before making a chart. Text: [paste your notes]

What you should get

Under 120 words, plain text, with Facts, Checks, and Next step sections; stated attendance figures listed, arithmetic inconsistencies and comparison gaps flagged, and one verification action without invented information.

Tested example: Tested on sample input

Workshop attendance notes: The morning session had 18 attendees and the afternoon session had 12. The summary says total attendance was 34. Some people may have attended both sessions, but repeat attendance was not recorded. We want a chart comparing attendance in the two sessions for a planning discussion.

Facts
Morning session: 18 attendees.
Afternoon session: 12 attendees.
Stated total attendance: 34.

Checks
The session counts sum to 30, not 34. Repeat attendance was not recorded, so the number of unique attendees and the overlap between sessions are unknown. It is unclear whether the stated total means unique people or session attendances.

Next step
Verify the attendance records to reconcile the total and clarify how repeat attendees were counted before making the chart.
