Know the Limits
Give it a refusal condition
Tell the model when you'd rather have 'I don't know' than a confident guess.
If the available evidence does not support a reliable answer, say what is missing instead of guessing.
Why it works
You are defining acceptable failure behavior, not merely requesting confidence.
Watch out
The model may still guess. Verify claims that matter.
