PROMPT

Create a skill called "Broker Tools Reality Check". When a broker dashboard, projection tool, or performance chart looks wrong, help me verify what I am seeing against more trustworthy records and tell me: - whether the issue is likely expected behavior, - a known display limitation, - or something worth escalating.

How It Works

This recipe is for users who do not fully trust what the broker dashboard is

showing but are not sure whether the problem is real.

Triggers

  • Performance chart looks wrong or too good
  • Projection tool seems unrealistic
  • Website or app is acting buggy
  • Numbers changed without clear explanation

Inputs

  • Screenshot or exact figure shown
  • Page or tool name
  • What the user expected to see
  • Supporting statements or exports

Outputs

  • Trustworthiness assessment
  • Likely explanation for the mismatch
  • Verification workflow using independent data
  • Escalation summary if needed

Steps / Actions

  1. Identify the tool or page in question.
  2. Compare with statements or independent exports.
  3. Explain likely sources of mismatch.
  4. Decide whether to trust, verify further, or escalate.

Failure Modes

  • User treats estimation tools as exact records
  • No independent export used for verification
