Templates to structure questions for ChatGPT·Claude·Perplexity. Verify numbers and claims with filings and primary data — not investment advice.
Hypothetical example: revenue increased from 100 to 110, but the AI says 20% growth. Check the same reporting period, currency and consolidated basis in the filing. Recalculate (110 − 100) ÷ 100 = 10%. The reported value is a fact, next year’s growth is an assumption, and a price target is a projection.
Follow-up: “Show the report date, table and units for each number. Recalculate the growth rate, explain which conclusions change, and mark unsupported claims as unverified.” Start with company analysis for a new business, earnings review after a release, and portfolio review for allocation. Do not submit account identifiers.
