The AI Verification Field Guide: A Professional's Framework for Trusting AI Output
A practical professional field guide that crystallizes the KaryoWorks verification methodology into a concise, referenceable book format.
Before
“I hope this AI output is accurate.”
After
“I have a systematic framework for verification — and a reference I return to when the stakes are high.”

What’s Included
Who It’s For
A field guide — not a course, not a playbook
When you need to verify AI output before using it professionally, you want a trusted reference you can return to — not a course to complete or a tutorial to follow.
Not a course
No exercises, rubrics, or capstone projects — see Verify AI-Generated Research ($199) for skill development
Not a playbook
No step-by-step tool tutorials — see AI Workflows ($39) for executable processes
Not prompt engineering
Framework overview only — see Verification Prompt Companion ($29) for 15 ready-to-use prompts
Not spreadsheets
Methodology reference — see AI Research Verification System ($99) for scoring worksheets and matrices

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the AI Research Verification System ($99)?
The System is the complete executable toolkit — spreadsheets, matrices, report templates, and implementation guides. This Field Guide is the reference book that explains the methodology you return to when you need to remember how something works. They complement each other: guide for understanding, system for doing.
How is this different from the Verify AI-Generated Research course ($199)?
The course teaches verification SKILL through exercises, practice scenarios, and a capstone project. This Field Guide is a reference you keep on your desk — no exercises, no completion requirements. Buy the course to learn; buy the guide to remember.
Will this become outdated as AI models improve?
The core methodology (fabrication taxonomy, verification process, source hierarchy, confidence scoring) is durable regardless of model quality. Volatile content (landscape chapters, tool links) is maintained on the web companion page, not through book revisions.
What format do I get?
PDF (primary, optimized for print and screen), plus companion PDFs for the quick reference card and decision tree. Web companion access for updates, errata, and download links.
Can I share this with my team?
Individual and Professional licenses are for one user. Team licenses ($199 for 5 users, $349 for 10) allow internal distribution within one organization. Firm License ($499) provides organization-wide access.
What's the bundle with the Verification System?
Book + System for $149 (save $29 vs. $49 + $99 separate). You get the reference guide plus the complete executable toolkit: scoring spreadsheets, evidence matrices, report templates, and implementation guides.
