Validating AI Results for Data Analysis Tasks

This concept presents a validation methodology for establishing trust in AI-generated analytical results, part of a broader "delegation diligence loop": a task is delegated to AI only after it has been tested against a known, already-analyzed dataset, so that discrepancies between AI's output and the ground truth reveal either a description gap (fixable by adding context/instructions) or a genuine capability limitation (indicating the task should not be delegated). The theory holds that validated confidence—rather than blind trust or blanket rejection—should govern the boundary between tasks appropriate for AI delegation and tasks requiring human execution. This belongs to the domain of responsible AI delegation within data analysis workflows, forming a companion practice to the "description discernment loop" that governs prompt/output quality in individual interactions.
