People, Roles and Entities
Match actions, views and responsibilities to the correct named person, group or organisation.

Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Transferring one person's view to their organisation.
Guardrail: Do not copy official questions, invent a fixed test length or weighting, replace passage evidence with outside knowledge, treat unsupported as False, infer score from difficulty or rely on returning to an earlier item.
Confusing an adviser with the decision maker.

Memory anchors
Actor before action
Identify who actually did or said each thing.
Role is not ownership
Advising, approving and delivering are distinct.
Group views need wording
One member does not automatically represent all.
Pronouns inherit carefully
Confirm the noun each reference replaces.
Attribution survives paraphrase
Do not move a claim to a different source.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
