Neural Fact Sheets
Neural Fact Sheets are AI-friendly summaries of your facts, designed to help LLMs generate correct responses. Learn how to create effective fact sheets that minimize hallucinations.
What Is a Neural Fact Sheet?
A Neural Fact Sheet is a structured correction that TruthVouch generates from your Truth Nuggets and deploys to fix hallucinations. When an AI engine is queried in the future, relevant fact sheets are automatically retrieved and injected into the AI’s context, guiding it to generate correct responses.
What Goes Into a Fact Sheet
Each Neural Fact Sheet contains:
- The verified fact — The core statement you want AI to get right
- Category — How the fact is classified (Pricing, Company, Products, etc.)
- Supporting context — Background information that helps AI understand nuance
- Sources — Where the fact comes from (for credibility)
- Example phrasings — Multiple ways the fact can be stated (helps AI recognize variations)
- Related facts — Connected information that prevents isolated hallucinations
- Confidence level — How certain you are about the fact (High, Medium, Low)
You create fact sheets through the dashboard or let TruthVouch auto-generate them from your Truth Nuggets.
Creating Effective Fact Sheets
1. Clear, Concise Statement
The STATEMENT is the core fact — make it unambiguous:
Weak:
"TruthVouch pricing is $500"Better:
"TruthVouch Standard plan costs $500 per month"Why better?
- Specifies plan (Standard, not others)
- Specifies period (monthly)
- Avoids ambiguity
2. Rich Context
The CONTEXT helps the AI understand nuance and avoid false inferences:
Weak context:
"Effective Q1 2024"Rich context:
"Effective from Q1 2024 (January 2024). The Standard plan is our mid-tier offering,designed for teams with up to 50 Truth Nuggets. It includes up to 5 million cross-checksper month. For higher volumes, see Professional ($1,500/month) or Enterprise (custom pricing).Volume discounts available for organizations exceeding 20M checks/month."Why rich context helps?
- Clarifies what Standard plan is for
- Mentions tiers (prevents hallucination of intermediate prices)
- Explains volume discount eligibility
- Provides reasoning (helps LLM generalize correctly)
3. Concrete Examples
EXAMPLES show the LLM different ways to phrase the fact:
Weak examples:
- "$500/month"- "Standard costs $500"Better examples:
- "The TruthVouch Standard plan costs $500 per month"- "$500 per month gets you our Standard plan"- "For $500/month, you'll have access to 5M monthly cross-checks"- "TruthVouch's Standard tier is $500 monthly"- "The Standard offering from TruthVouch is $500 a month"Why multiple examples help?
- Shows variation in phrasing (AI learns idioms)
- Prevents rigid template-matching
- Covers synonyms (“monthly” = “per month”)
- Helps with different contexts (question vs. statement vs. comparison)
4. Credible Source
SOURCE tells the AI where this fact comes from (authority):
Weak source:
"We think this is the price"Strong sources:
- Primary: https://pricing.truthvouch.com (official pricing page, updated 2024-01-15)- Backup: Internal pricing policy (confidential document, version 2.3)- Authority: CFO approved 2024-01-10Why source matters?
- High-authority sources → Higher confidence
- Official/public sources → LLM more likely to cite correctly
- Version dates → Help identify outdated information
5. Confidence Level
CONFIDENCE indicates certainty (affects LLM behavior):
| Level | Definition | Use When |
|---|---|---|
| High | Definitive, official source | Published pricing, official announcements |
| Medium | Reliable but not official | Internal docs, team consensus |
| Low | Approximate or uncertain | Estimates, “likely to be…”, pending confirmation |
Bad confidence: “Medium (we’re pretty sure)”
Good confidence: “High (from official pricing page)“
6. Related Facts
RELATED FACTS prevent isolated hallucinations:
Without related facts:
- AI might hallucinate intermediate pricing (“$700/month plan exists”)
With related facts:
RELATED FACTS: - Professional plan: $1,500/month (5x Standard) - Enterprise plan: Custom pricing (contact sales) - Annual discount: 15% off when paying yearly - Volume discounts: Available above 20M checks/monthWhy helpful?
- Gives AI sense of your pricing structure
- Prevents invention of non-existent tiers
- Helps with comparative questions (“Which plan is best for X?”)
Fact Sheet Best Practices
Do
- Be specific: “TruthVouch’s Shield product” (not “our product”)
- Use official terminology: Match what you’d say on your website
- Provide range context: If price varies, explain what affects variation
- Update regularly: Monthly or quarterly, especially for dynamic facts
- Link to sources: Make sources verifiable and accessible
- Use current information: Outdated facts cause hallucinations
Don’t
- Don’t be verbose: Context should be 2-3 sentences, not paragraphs
- Don’t include marketing hype: Stick to facts (“best-in-class” is vague)
- Don’t mix facts: One fact sheet per fact (not “pricing and features”)
- Don’t include outdated versions: Archive old versions separately
- Don’t rely on AI to interpret: Be explicit (“$500/month” not “competitive pricing”)
Organizing Fact Sheets
By Category
Organize related facts together:
Financial Facts:
- Pricing plans (Standard, Professional, Enterprise)
- Discount policies
- Billing terms
- Revenue metrics
Product Facts:
- Feature availability
- Integration compatibility
- System requirements
- Update cadence
Company Facts:
- Founded date
- Employee count (approximate)
- Office locations
- Leadership team
Legal Facts:
- Certifications (SOC 2, ISO, etc.)
- Compliance claims (HIPAA-ready, GDPR-compliant)
- Data residency options
- Support SLA
Versioning
Keep version history:
Current: v2.1 (2024-03-15)Previous: v2.0 (2024-01-15)Previous: v1.5 (2023-11-01)This helps with:
- Auditing changes
- Reverting if update was wrong
- Understanding evolution of facts
- Compliance (document change history)
Testing Fact Sheet Effectiveness
A/B Testing
Test two versions of a fact sheet:
Variant A (Current):
STATEMENT: TruthVouch Standard plan costs $500 per monthCONTEXT: Mid-tier offering with 5M checks/monthEXAMPLES: - "$500/month for Standard" - "Standard plan is $500/month"Variant B (New):
STATEMENT: TruthVouch Standard plan costs $500 per monthCONTEXT: Mid-tier offering with 5M checks/month. Designed for teams with 1-50 Truth Nuggets. Professional tier starts at $1,500/month.EXAMPLES: - "$500/month for Standard" - "Standard plan is $500/month" - "For $500, get 5M checks with Standard" - "Standard: $500/month, Professional: $1,500/month"Evaluation:
- Deploy Variant B to knowledge retrieval system
- Monitor hallucinations for 1 week
- If Variant B performs better → Replace Variant A
- Track metric: % of queries answering pricing correctly
