Prompt Engineering
Prompt engineering is the practice of designing instructions and context to help an AI model produce more useful and reliable outputs.
✦ Key Insight
Poor instructions can produce incomplete, ambiguous, or irrelevant AI responses, while well-designed prompts make research and analysis more consistent.
✕ Common Misconceptions
Prompt engineering cannot make a model inherently truthful. Outputs still need independent verification.

Due Diligence
Due diligence is the process of investigating and verifying important information before making a decision or taking financial risk.
Research Framework
A research framework is a repeatable structure for collecting evidence, testing claims, comparing risks, and reaching a documented conclusion.
Hallucination (AI)
An AI hallucination is an output that presents incorrect, unsupported, or fabricated information as though it were valid.
Large Language Model (LLM)
A large language model is an AI model trained on large amounts of data to process and generate language and other structured outputs.
