Review Dovetail AI Summaries Against Evidence
Treat an AI summary as a draft interpretation, then verify material claims against the source. A readable summary and a citation indicator do not establish that the wording or conclusion is accurate.
Before you start: Have access to the summary and original data. Prioritize the passages that could change a product or customer decision.
Worked example: A summary says all owners found permissions confusing, while one participant described a single contractor case. Correct the scope and preserve the qualification before sharing.
Step-by-step guide
Identify consequential claims
Mark statements about frequency, cause, severity or customer intent. These deserve closer checking than a neutral session outline.
Open the cited context
Use available source citations and inspect the surrounding passage. For documents, verify the quoted context directly rather than relying on navigation behavior alone.
Check meaning
Look for lost negation, hypothetical statements and speaker confusion. Compare the claim with what was actually said or observed.
Review omissions
Look for important contradictory or limiting evidence absent from the summary. Add it explicitly rather than trusting a fluent narrative.
Correct the artifact
Edit or regenerate through supported controls as appropriate. If the transcript changed, remember the summary may remain a snapshot until regenerated.
Record the review
State what was checked and retain source access. Keep the approved finding separate from an unreviewed generated draft.
Common mistakes
Citation means accurate
The cited passage may not support the interpretation.
Transcript edited, summary assumed current
Regeneration may be required.
Only errors of wording checked
Omitted counterevidence can be equally important.
Tips
Check frequency claims first.
Preserve qualifiers from the original passage.
Record when a material summary was reviewed.
