Mira needs a supplier summary
Mira is preparing for a client meeting. She asks an assistant to summarise a supplier offer. The draft sounds professional, but the client may use it to decide whether to buy. That makes the price, payment terms and promises especially important. A fluent summary is only a starting point.
Check the number
Open the original offer beside the draft. The offer says eighteen thousand five hundred euros, excluding taxes. The draft says fifteen thousand eight hundred. This is not a style difference. It changes the purchasing decision. Correct the number and record which version of the source you checked.
Check the conditions
Now compare the payment condition. The source requires payment within fourteen days. The draft gives the client thirty days. Even after fixing the price, this summary would still misrepresent the deal. Work through the important conditions one by one instead of stopping at the first error you find.
Find the unsupported promise
The draft also promises free cancellation at any time. The source does not grant that right. It says cancellation terms must be agreed separately in writing. Remove the unsupported promise. If the client needs a cancellation right, the responsible person must negotiate it. Another prompt cannot create an agreement.
Accuracy and permission are separate
The summary is more accurate now, but Mira still does not know whether this account is approved for client information. Correcting the wording does not resolve that question. Pause further uploads and external sharing while the designated owner checks the account, the data category and the intended use.
Leave a review someone can follow
A useful review note explains what was checked, what changed and what remains unresolved. Mira records the source version, the corrected price and payment term, and the removed cancellation claim. She identifies who will confirm permission and who will approve release. In the activity, make the same distinction between supported facts and unsupported claims.
After watching or reading / Think it through
If Mira corrects the price and payment terms, is the summary ready to share?
Pause and form your answer, then compare the reasoning. This reflection is not scored.
Compare the reasoning
Not yet. The cancellation promise still needs evidence, and the account's permission for client information remains unresolved. A correct calculation or fluent draft does not establish either permission or approval to release.
Use the ideas below to distinguish a checked result from a justified decision. Then compare the source and summary yourself.

An AI summary can change a number, invent a right or leave out an important condition. Correct surrounding text can make an error harder to notice. Read with a specific purpose: which facts could affect the next decision?
Compare those facts with the original source. Check amounts, dates, names, commitments and exceptions. Also ask what the summary has left out. If you cannot verify a consequential claim, pause its use and identify who can resolve the uncertainty.
Mira's supplier offer
The offer says €18,500. The AI summary says €15,800 and adds a cancellation right. Both the changed price and the new right need correction before the summary is used.
Remember this
Look for omissions as well as statements that are wrong.
