What evidence-linked feedback looks like

Useful feedback names both sides of a potential mismatch, explains the comparison, and preserves the student's decision.

A finding needs two anchors

“Check your numbers” is not actionable. A finding should name the statement and the table, figure, calculation, or rubric line used for comparison.

The rule must be visible

Explain whether the check compared exact values, rounding, units, references, or lexical evidence.

Uncertainty belongs in the finding

A checker should distinguish detected difference from proven error and identify transformations it cannot reconstruct.

The student remains the author

Review the evidence, apply course rules, and make the correction yourself rather than accepting replacement prose.
