Harbor Repair
“We’re open weekdays, 9 am–5 pm. A zip repair starts at $18. We accept cards. Drop in Sunday, noon–4 pm.”
A source-refresh exercise
The page is polished.
Are the facts still true?
Read two short records from a fictional repair shop. Decide what survives, what changes, and what needs a question. Then rebuild the copy.
Every name, date and business fact in this exercise is fictional. Changes live only in this tab. Nothing is sent or saved on a server.
The owner’s update
“Weekdays are now 10 am–6 pm. Zip repairs start at $22. Card payments still work. I haven’t decided the Sunday schedule.”
For this exercise, the owner note is the current source. It explicitly leaves Sunday unresolved.
Your judgment comes first.
“Changed” has a supported replacement. “Confirmed” still agrees. “Unknown” needs a question, not a guess.
A useful answer has edges.
Classify all four facts correctly to create the refreshed copy. Sunday will remain a question.
The source ledger
| Fact | Decision | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Hours, price, cards, Sunday | Awaiting review | Owner note, 3 Sep 2026 |
A local text file. The source date and unresolved question travel with the copy.
What this teaches
Before
A tidy old answer carries stale facts.
Human judgment
You compare meaning, source and date. The unsupported Sunday schedule stops here.
After
Clear copy with a traceable source and one honest question.
Teach it back: explain why “Sunday closed” is just as unsupported as “Sunday noon–4 pm.”
Borrowed pattern: training-content source review + menu confirmation lists. Keep separate: actual customer records and professional advice. Why this example belongs in the collection →
