A verification checklist for AI research
Five checks that turn an AI-generated report into an input you can evaluate rather than a conclusion to copy.

Check identity
Confirm company name, ticker, exchange and asset type. A correct company name cannot repair a report prepared for the wrong listing or share class.
A common failure is a numeric ticker without an exchange: 700 is not enough to know whether you meant a Hong Kong listing. If the header and the body disagree, treat the report as unverified.
Check timing
Confirm the analysis date and whether the cited evidence belongs before that boundary. Current market context is not a substitute for a historical report and an old report is not current market data.
Check source quality
Prioritize primary filings, dated market data and attributable news. Treat unsupported summary statements as leads to investigate, not evidence to rely on.
Check conflicts and omissions
Read the contrary case and note evidence that did not fit the final stance. Missing data, disagreement between analysts and uncertainty about a source are useful signals to retain.
Check your own decision boundary
A research report cannot know your objectives, tax position, liquidity needs or risk tolerance. Use it as research reference material and apply an independent decision process.
Passing all five checks does not make the rating a buy instruction. It only means the artifact is complete enough to enter your own process.
