How to stop ChatGPT hallucinations wrecking work drafts

You will not eliminate hallucinations. You can make them obvious and unshippable. Operators win with constraints and review — not with wishing for a perfect model.

  1. 01

    Ban silent invention in the prompt

    “If a fact is missing, write TBD. Do not invent prices, dates, owners, or quotes.” Put it in custom instructions and in each task.

  2. 02

    Provide the only allowed sources

    Paste the notes, CRM snippet, or meeting transcript. Tell the model those are the only facts it may use.

  3. 03

    Run an invent-check pass

    Ask: list every factual claim and where it came from in my notes. Anything without a source gets cut.

  4. 04

    Keep a human on the send button

    No autopilot to clients. The model drafts; you own the outcome.
