- [Expose retrieval failures through fallback](https://videotomd.com/b/text-local-surface-grounding-service-failures-f809f7bcf6ae/index.md): Keep retrieval infrastructure errors distinguishable from valid searches with no answer.
- [Separate verified facts from inference](https://videotomd.com/b/text-local-separate-facts-from-inference-70174e7c9ac2/index.md): Give exact sourced claims and useful hypotheses separate generation and validation rules.
- [Propagate freshness and trust through confidence](https://videotomd.com/b/text-local-keep-quantitative-claims-grounded-in-code-1ad4c141f2e0/index.md): Compute confidence from source quality and upstream dependencies while exposing its limits.
- [Keep an explainer chat honest without live data](https://videotomd.com/b/text-local-keep-explainer-chat-without-live-data-243998c95e8f/index.md): Constrain an ungrounded chat to capabilities and direct precise data requests to a grounded workflow.
- [Ground charts and answers on one data artifact](https://videotomd.com/b/text-local-ground-charts-and-answers-on-one-artifact-b9c795072338/index.md): Publish deterministic, grain-specific data once, then use it for charts and grounded answers.
- [Expose rejected prose in build reports](https://videotomd.com/b/text-local-email-claim-gate-b03649cf4866/index.md): Make silent narrative drops visible without weakening the claim gate.
- [Preserve source date precision through rendering](https://videotomd.com/b/text-local-preserve-date-grain-b03649cf4866/index.md): Use the same grain-aware formatter for visible dates and permitted model numerals.
- [Validate cached prose against the receiving artifact](https://videotomd.com/b/text-local-use-bounded-narrative-readthrough-013a01ef9967/index.md): Reject cached commentary containing numbers unsupported by its smaller destination.
- [Compare search tools by citation fidelity](https://videotomd.com/b/text-local-compare-search-citation-fidelity-70174e7c9ac2/index.md): Choose grounded retrieval by inspectable claim citations rather than apparent answer quality.
