Operating method
| Stage | Control | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Confirm audience, intent, and acceptance criteria | Approved brief |
| Produce | Assign one owner and a reviewer with a due time | Queue record |
| Review | Check claims, links, structure, and accessibility | Review checklist |
| Release | Record the final version and verification date | Publication log |
Implementation notes
Start with a small queue and use the same fields for every article. Link the brief to the research brief quality gates and source verification workflow. A weekly review should remove stale assignments, surface missing evidence, and route decisions to the named owner.
