# Curate and correct outputs

Use a concrete answer to explain the requirement behind acceptance, rejection, or correction.

## Prerequisites

The assigned Contribution includes the Case, candidate output, relevant materials, and an output-review activity.

## Steps

1. Read the input and source material before judging the answer.
2. Use the provided curation or correction controls to record the answer you would stand behind. Explain which claim, omission, or qualification changes your judgment.
3. Describe when the same answer would be acceptable under different conditions. Return unresolved source questions to Lemon instead of inventing missing context.
4. Review any proposed policy or rubric against your actual reasoning before recording its artifact decision.

## Object and state changes

The response and rationale belong to the Contribution. A corrected example and a proposed standard retain their separate artifact states.

## Success criteria

Another reviewer can distinguish the expected answer from the general requirement it illustrates.

## Common failure modes

Accepting a plausible answer without checking controlling sources; treating one corrected answer as an approved universal rule.
