Output Quality + What Never Goes to Claude
The three failure modes you'll see most, the six-point checklist that catches them, and the hard rules on MNPI.
What we cover
- Three failure modes: hallucination, agree-with-corrections, formula references
- The Output Quality Checklist (six checks, lifetime reference)
- A worked DealCloud example -- annotate alongside Mike
- MNPI hard rules (anchored sub-section -- Mike may invite Jennifer Baker on the day)
Why it matters
Trust without verification is the fastest way to ship a wrong number. This session gives you the muscle to catch the wrong number before it leaves your screen.
Hands-on moment
Pull up one Claude output you generated this week. Run the six-point Quality Checklist on it. Tag what passed, what didn't, what you'd change. Submit on disco.
Peer moment (3 min)
