Evidence and Source Standards
Learners must distinguish administrative data, survey data, census data, financial data, audit findings, evaluation reports, academic research, stakeholder testimony, media reporting, expert opinion, public consultation, political claims, model-based estimates, and AI-generated synthesis.
Every evidence record should include
- Source; date; jurisdiction; methodology.
- Population or coverage; limitations.
- Reliability; relevance; verification status.
AI-generated text is not original evidence. A generated summary must link back to the verified source.
