A PRACTICAL GUIDE

How to use the Source Credibility Checklist Generator.

Credibility review examines evidence, authorship and context rather than assigning truth from appearance. A polished page can still lack support for its claims.

Make the workflow fit your task.

Identify the specific claim being evaluated, then inspect authorship, publication context, evidence links and dates. Trace support to primary material where possible and note missing information. Present a checklist of findings rather than a single unexplained trust score.

What you provide: Source page and research purpose.
What you get: Authorship, evidence and conflict-of-interest review questions.

Example input

An article states "70% of teams save an hour a day". The excerpt has no named author, publication date, study link or description of teams surveyed.

Completed example

Credibility checklist:
- Claim to verify: 70% of which teams, under what definition of saving an hour?
- Authorship: not supplied.
- Date: not supplied.
- Primary evidence: no study linked in the excerpt.
- Needed: original study, sample, question wording and measurement method.
Verdict: evidence insufficient from this excerpt; the statistic is not established as true or false.

Decisions and troubleshooting.

Does a professional-looking website establish source credibility?

Appearance does not establish expertise or evidence quality. Examine the support for the particular claim and the author's relevant role.

Why do several articles repeating a claim fail to corroborate it independently?

They may all copy one original source. Trace the citation chain and distinguish independent evidence from repetition.

Try it with your own source.

Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
