Control source freshness and verify evidence before: What control conclusion best follows?
Changing policies require fresh sources and evidence verification; retrieval alone does not guarantee current, faithful answers.
The question
An employee assistant answers questions about changing travel and leave policies. Retrieval improves factual coverage, but employees report that answers sometimes cite outdated policy pages. The organization requires current policy grounding and review for consequential personnel guidance. What control conclusion best follows?

- Control source freshness and verify evidence before consequential answers. ✓The observed defect concerns stale retrieval, while consequential use additionally requires checking the evidence supporting each answer before relying on it.
- Retain historical answers as training data.Historical answers may shape behavior but cannot reliably supply current policy facts or correct stale retrieved sources.
- Remove retrieval and rely on the model's policy knowledge.Removing retrieval would further separate responses from changing authoritative policies and increase the risk of outdated or unsupported guidance.
- Increase model capacity for better policy responses.A larger model may improve general capability, but it does not ensure current sources, fresh retrieval, or faithful answers.
The trap
For changing facts, examine source currency and answer grounding before changing the model. How to remember it
Changing policies require fresh sources and evidence verification; retrieval alone does not guarantee current, faithful answers.
