Human approval gate
A named editor approves every material claim, citation, uncertainty note, and refresh date before publication.
The workflow
Every step includes a check that can stop the process before risk moves downstream.
- 01
Define the decision
Write the question, audience, cutoff date, and claims that would change the decision.
Gate: A reviewer can tell what is out of scope. - 02
Discover candidate sources
Use more than one search path and collect primary documentation before commentary.
Gate: Every source has a publisher, URL, and access date. - 03
Verify claims
For each material sentence, confirm that the cited source says what the sentence claims.
Gate: Citation presence and citation entailment are reviewed separately. - 04
Synthesize with uncertainty
Separate facts, provider claims, editorial inference, and unresolved questions.
Gate: Uncertainty is visible instead of smoothed away. - 05
Approve and schedule recheck
A named person approves the brief and records when volatile claims should be revisited.
Gate: The published page has a reviewer and verified date.
Candidates to pilot
