Choose the uncertainty-asking prompt
You are importing lithium batteries for a real shipment next month and asking an assistant about the EU process and costs. Getting the answer wrong is expensive.
Pick the prompt that gives you something you can act on.
Hint
Which prompt produces a list of things you can check?
A 'be accurate' instruction does not change how the answer is produced.
Why this is the answer
Accuracy instructions do not make an answer accurate; structure does the work. Prompt B separates the answer, its assumptions and the verification list, so uncertainty becomes visible and actionable. Treat the output as a checklist of what to confirm with the authority that decides — not as the final word.
