Three ways to do this lab. A: the browser steps below, the main path, free with no account. B: try the same task with your own AI tool if you have one (its terms and quotas apply). C: work from the provided material and the worked solution below, which teaches the same skill. No path claims you used a live AI tool when you did not.
Objectives
- Compare three answers to the same simple request side by side
- Sort five claims into verified, assumption or false, with written reasons
- State exactly what you checked and where for each verified claim
Step 1
Read the three answers
The request was: 'What do I need to open a small bakery page online?' Read all three provided answers carefully. Underline every sentence that states a fact (a number, a price, a rule, a name) versus every sentence that gives general advice.
answer-a.mdmarkdown Answer A: You need three things: a name for the page, one photo of your bread, and a phone number for orders. Most small bakeries start with a free one-page site and add online payment only when phone orders pass about 20 per day. A custom domain costs roughly 10 to 15 USD per year.answer-b.mdmarkdown Answer B: Every food business must register for license FB-2024 before publishing any page, and the Sunday trading ban applies to all online bakeries in the country. A business email address is required by law for the contact section. Starter hosting is free forever on all major platforms.answer-c.mdmarkdown Answer C: Start with one page: what you sell, opening hours, how to order. Write the order section for phone orders first, since that is what you already do. Keep the page to three sections until customers ask for more.Step 2
Sort the five claims
Decide each claim: VERIFIED (you checked it at a real source), ASSUMPTION (plausible but unchecked), or FALSE (contradicted by a real source or by reasoning). The five claims: (1) A custom domain costs roughly 10-15 USD per year. (2) License FB-2024 is required before publishing any food page. (3) A Sunday trading ban applies to all online bakeries. (4) Starter hosting is free forever on all major platforms. (5) Starting with three page sections is enough for a first version.
Step 3
Write the reasons
For each claim write two lines: your verdict, and the reason (the source you opened and what it said, or the reasoning that exposes it). For claim 5, note that it is a judgment call, not a fact: explain why it counts as a reasonable assumption rather than something verifiable.
How to confirm it worked
- All five claims carry a verdict plus a written reason
- At least one claim is verified at a named real source with what the source says
- The invented license and the blanket ban are caught as false or unverified, never accepted
- 'Free forever' is flagged as a quota claim that needs the official pricing page
Sort the claims
Pick a verdict per claim and write a one-sentence reason. Truth and verifiability differ: nothing counts as verified without evidence.

Hints, in three stages
Stage 1: a nudge
Specific numbers, license codes and country-wide bans are the claims most worth checking. General advice about page structure is rarely the trap.
Stage 2: a direction
For the domain price, open any real domain registrar and read the first-year versus renewal price. For the license, search the exact code FB-2024 and notice what (does not) come up.
Stage 3: almost the answer
'Free forever on all major platforms' combines two absolutes ('forever', 'all'). One counterexample from one official pricing page is enough to downgrade it.
Worked solution (open after an honest attempt)
Worked solution. Claim 1 (domain 10-15 USD/year): ASSUMPTION leaning verified only after a check; real registrars list roughly this range for common endings but first-year discounts and renewals differ, so quote the registrar page you opened. Claims 2 and 3 (license FB-2024, blanket Sunday ban): FALSE as stated; the code follows no real licensing scheme you can find, and a country-wide ban on online bakeries contradicts how food retail works. The correct move is refusing both until a real regulation page says otherwise. Claim 4 (free forever everywhere): ASSUMPTION at best; free tiers exist but carry quotas and change, so it needs the official pricing page with a check date. Claim 5 (three sections enough): ASSUMPTION and a reasonable one; it is a scope judgment, not a fact, and it matches the course rule of starting narrow. The pattern to keep: specifics get checked, judgments get reasons, absolutes get distrusted.
