   Provide commentary on the AI response, flag critical issues such as hallucinations or ethical/safety concerns. Commentaries must be error‑free, concise, and consistent with established guidelines, evidence‑based practices, and current educational standards. Rewriting the commentary and revisiting the evaluation may also be required based on feedback from quality checks.

2. Stay Current: Stay updated with the latest research, guidelines, and advancements in your area of expertise, ensuring that your validation and feedback are informed by the most current and accurate information.
