FAILURE LOG  (L6)
Label: AI allowed — keep a record

Fill in one block per failure. You need three: a fabricated citation,
a sycophantic reversal, and a confident wrong answer in a subject you know.
Paste prompts and outputs exactly. Do not tidy them up.

====================================================================
FAILURE 1 of 3
Failure mode:      (hallucination / sycophancy / miscalibration)
Mechanical cause:  (one line, in L5 terms: distribution, sampling,
                    fixed weights, continuing the text it is given)

Prompt(s), exactly as sent:


Output, exactly as received (the relevant part):


VERIFICATION PROCEDURE
1. Identify the checkable claim(s):
   (quote each claim that is either true or false, one per line)

2. Name the authority that would settle it:
   (who or what has the final word: the publisher's own site, a standards
    body, a government agency, the original document, your own direct
    measurement. "Another AI assistant" is never the authority.)

3. Check it:
   (what you looked at: page title, URL or document and section,
    date you looked)

4. Record the result:
   (for each claim: CONFIRMED / WRONG / NOT FOUND / COULD NOT CHECK,
    and what the authority actually says)

How confident did the output sound?  (quote the phrasing)

 said it was unsure" is a result.)
