When crafting a policy research prompt, what three elements must be included?	The specific policy/legislation, the nonprofit's context, and what specific information is needed (e.g., impact, funding).

Name two specific verification actions required during the Discernment phase.	Flagging specific claims for verification, and checking for outdated or missing information.
