Retrieval grounding

Paste the source material into the prompt and instruct the model to use only that. Cuts hallucination.

How it works

Example prompt

Only use the pasted safeguarding policy below. Quote the exact line for each recommendation. If the answer is not in the policy, say "not covered".
