Evaluating and verifying AI output
Checks AI output for accuracy, completeness and usefulness, verifies claims against sources and decides whether the output is used.

The candidate performs a representative work sample under standardised conditions.
Behavioural anchors
| Level | Behaviour at this level |
|---|---|
| N1 Guided | Checks facts and figures from AI output against a reliable source before passing the result on. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task |
| N3 Proficient | Determines per task which checks are needed, spots incorrect or fabricated parts and accounts for the result used. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process |
| N5 Leading | Designs the organisation's verification policy and determines for which applications human review remains mandatory. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession |
N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.

| T | Skill | Definition | Demand outlook 2026 to 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|
| V | Verifying AI output AI output verification | Checks claims, figures and references from AI output against an independent source before use. | rising |
| V | Recognising hallucination Hallucination | Recognises invented facts, sources and quotations in AI output from internal contradictions and untraceable references. | rising |
| V | Checking AI source citations Citation checking | Opens and reads the cited sources and checks whether they exist and truly say what the model claims. | rising |
| V | Sampling AI output for accuracy Output sampling | Checks a random sample of large volumes of AI output and thereby estimates the error rate. | rising |
| V | Editing AI text to own standard Editing AI output | Rewrites AI text to own house style, audience and nuance and removes inflated or vague phrasing. | rising |
| V | Reviewing generated code Reviewing AI code | Reviews AI written code for behaviour, security, dependencies and readability before it is used. | rising |
| V | Setting quality criteria in advance Quality criteria | Records for an AI task what the output must satisfy so assessment does not happen on gut feeling. | rising |
| V | Recording the decision to use AI output AI use record | Records which AI output was used, who approved it and which adjustments were made. | rising |
| G | Countering over reliance on AI Automation bias | Keeps own professional judgement sharp, tests AI output against experience and voices doubt instead of going along. | rising |
