# Veteran GovCon AI Kit: ground rules and a five-line fact check (free sample)

Version 1.0, 2026-10-30. By PaperChaseWebb, a veteran-owned firm. From the Veteran GovCon AI Kit.

## The ground rules

```
Use only facts I give you. If a fact is missing, write [ASK: what you need].
Never write a certification or socioeconomic status unless I gave it with the date I checked it and where. Copy my wording exactly.
Never invent a contract number, dollar value, agency, date or result.
Do not log in to any government site or submit anything. Draft only.
```

Before any statement goes out, check by eye:
