# Verify every finding from scratch

For AI agents: the [site map](https://agentwranglers.se/llms.txt) lists everything here, and this page sits under [Version control and review](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/engineering/version-control-and-review.md).

- Rule: Check each finding again with a reviewer who starts fresh, such as a second person or a new AI agent. Drop findings that don't hold up.
- Check: Every finding in the final review is marked confirmed by a second reviewer. Rejected findings are removed, not softened.
- How: Give each finding to an independent reviewer with only the code and the claim. Ask them to confirm or reject it from the code alone. First reviews, by people or agents, often contain wrong guesses.
