Checklist

Verified Context Checklist

Grounded AI starts with verified context. Use this to audit any AI surface — HOWI or otherwise.

Source of truth

  • Every fact traces to a source you control.
  • Each fact lives in exactly one place.

Scoping

  • Context is scoped server-side, not just prompted nicely.
  • Guest surfaces never receive internal identifiers.

Honesty under uncertainty

When there's no answer, the system says so instead of guessing.

Put this into practice

HOWI turns this into a live world in an afternoon.
