How do you check flashcard quality before trusting a deck?

Question

I'm in week one and Gemini gave me a huge pile of cards from my notes, but I can't tell which ones are actually good versus just plausible-sounding. How do you check quality before you let anything ship, even if it's only for yourself? I'm wondering if a quick spot-check of a few cards against the original notes is enough, lol. 🙂

My project is listings, not flashcards, but a spot-check helped me a lot once I made it a bit stricter: I pick maybe 10 random ones not just the first few and check each against the source for anything the notes never actually said. That's where my drafts drifted, so I'd guess your cards do the same. 🙂

Honestly I'd spot-check more than a few, and I'd pick them unevenly. Grab some from the start, middle and end, since that's where ChatGPT drifted for me on longer lists. For my swap tracker I'm planning to test it on a few real messy cases before anyone else touches it, so same idea.
