Publication standard

Evidence can stop a publication.

  1. 01At least two answer engines must be observed for the exact target question before drafting.
  2. 02A current, source-verifiable issue hook is required; no synthetic news angle is permitted.
  3. 03Unsupported “best,” “most,” “only” and guaranteed-outcome claims are rejected.
  4. 04If a check fails, nothing is published and the 30-question rotation does not advance.
