A program may publish several versions of an overview with different eligibility language, activity descriptions or outcome claims. FTC guidance addresses misleading weight-loss advertising. A center can make an original evaluation sample about which wording is actually supported by a supplied document. FTC reference guide on weight-loss claims

Draft a fictional program outline and a revised public description. Put an unsupported promise in a mock promotional draft and add a version date that determines which schedule applies. Ask the evaluator to flag the unsupported wording and cite the current source. Keep the task on evidence retrieval, with no nutrition, weight or medical recommendations.

Use independently written materials. Keep measurements, images, testimonials, attendance, payment details and individual health information out of the dataset.

Describe a fictional claim review sample

Original Fiund exercise

A current schedule does not supply evidence for an added outcome promise

An independently written fictional program outline describes a general classroom schedule. The task reviews supplied copy; it gives no nutrition, activity, medical or weight recommendation.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
WM1Original practice outline V1Class on Monday; describes lessons only and states no guaranteed individual outcome.
WM2Approved outline V2Effective day 5, class moves to Tuesday; no change to the absence of an outcome guarantee.
WM3Promotional draftUses Tuesday and adds every participant achieves the same result in one week. No supporting study, approval or outcome record supplied.

Question for the model

Which current schedule is sourced, and does correctly using Tuesday establish support for the draft's universal result promise?

Show the reference answer and checks

WM2 supports Tuesday from day 5 and retains the outline's lack of a guaranteed individual outcome. WM3 correctly copies the schedule but adds a universal promise with no evidence or approval in the packet. Flag that sentence as unsupported rather than treating a correct date or polished promotional format as proof of effectiveness. Limit the finding to source and claim support without advising any individual about a health program.

  • Approving an entire promotional draft because its schedule is current.
  • Turning descriptive program material into evidence for a guaranteed personal outcome.

Fields to preserve

Outline version and effective date
Identifies the supported schedule.
Exact promotional claim
Makes the added promise inspectable.
Evidence and approval source
Shows the gap between a description and an outcome assertion.

Test another case

Supply a narrowly scoped study summary concerning a different population and measured endpoint. Require scope matching rather than treating the presence of any study as support for the universal draft promise.

Use original fictional materials only. Exclude measurements, body images, testimonials, attendance, payments and individual health data.
