A transparent scoring model for choosing defensible research topics before writers start work.
Research operations10 sources
Key stats
- A defined intake or review gate makes quality observable before publication.
- Named owners reduce unresolved handoffs in distributed content work.
- A traceable evidence trail makes refreshes and corrections faster.
Key takeaways
- Define the decision the article must support before collecting evidence.
- Record owner, status, source date, and next action in one visible queue.
- Treat exceptions as review items with an explicit escalation path.
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.
