Key stats
- QA is stronger when checks are observable and repeatable.
- Content can be factually correct and still fail on links or metadata.
- Rechecking after edits catches defects introduced during cleanup.
Key takeaways
- Run content, link, and metadata checks as separate passes.
- Keep a failure record with owner and correction.
- Revalidate the final file, not only the draft version.
Final-pass table
| Area | Pass condition |
|---|---|
| Facts | Claims map to reviewed sources |
| Structure | Required sections are present |
| Links | Internal and external links resolve |
| Metadata | Title, description, date, and image exist |
Use the source verification workflow and review SLA to assign failures.
