The rule
The cost check asks how much trouble a mistake would cause.
A check helps if it has what it needs. The cost check says what to check first. It never says what is true. The material check shows if an answer follows your page.
A high cost means check this answer first. It does not mean the answer is wrong.
| The check | What it needs |
|---|---|
| Does it match what I know? | A fact you already know |
| Does a trusted place agree? | A separate source, such as a trusted adult |
| How much would a mistake cost? | Nothing. It is not about truth |
| Does it use only my material? | A page you gave, and a claim you can trace |
A library answer said five rupees. Line 4 of the pasted rules said two. The material check found that.
