Direct answer

Read the stored answer, identify a specific claim, and compare it with an authoritative current source. Then inspect the citations exposed with that answer. A cited page can be associated with the answer without being the source of the inaccurate claim.

​
Data required

  • The exact answer text, generation time, provider, and model
  • The prompt and active country, language, topic, and period filters
  • Exposed citation domains and URLs
  • An authoritative, dated record of the correct fact
  • Relevant SELF page versions or update dates

​
Workflow

  1. In Monitor > Response Analysis, filter to the relevant provider, model, and prompt.
  2. Copy the precise claim that may be inaccurate and record the answer generation time.
  3. Verify the claim against an approved current source outside the generated answer.
  4. In Monitor > Source Explorer, inspect URLs exposed with the same answer.
  5. Open the cited pages and determine whether they contain the stale claim, a conflicting claim, or no related claim.
  6. Track the same prompt and model after the authoritative information is corrected.

​
Interpretation

Classify each case as confirmed inaccurate, potentially outdated, ambiguous, or unsupported. Separate the generated claim from the content of each cited page. A citation does not prove that the provider used that page for the disputed statement. An answer can contain both accurate and inaccurate claims, and a current source can be cited alongside stale generated text.

​
Possible next actions

  • Correct an outdated SELF page and expose a clear update date.
  • Consolidate conflicting SELF pages around one canonical statement.
  • Contact an independent publisher when its page contains a verifiable error.
  • Monitor a fixed prompt cohort after the correction.
Treat any expected answer change as a hypothesis; providers control retrieval and generation.

​
Limitations

  • Qwairy stores exposed citations, not every source used internally.
  • Providers may rely on undisclosed or older information.
  • A later corrected answer does not prove which action caused the change.
  • Historical page content may require a separate archive or change log.
