A proof standard names the evidence a daily article must carry before it can enter review.
Define the control
List the page promise, material claims, intended reader, required source types, and release checks before drafting begins. This converts “make it good” into observable acceptance evidence.
The routine should fit inside the existing daily publishing flow. Name the artifact, its accountable owner, and the point at which it becomes release evidence. That keeps process language tied to an observable decision instead of turning it into another unchecked checklist.
Apply it to one article
Match each claim to the lightest credible proof. A workflow recommendation may need a transparent rationale; a numerical claim needs a traceable original source; a production claim needs direct route evidence.
Use the current page and current evidence. Record uncertainty directly, keep unrelated edits outside the task, and prefer a reversible change when the available signal is incomplete. The goal is a better supported reader experience, not activity for its own sake.
Preserve the handoff
At handoff, record what was checked, what remains an inference, and who owns unresolved judgment. Do not let a polished draft stand in for proof that its claims and metadata are sound.
A useful handoff lets another editor identify the page, understand the decision, inspect the supporting evidence, and know the next safe action without reconstructing the day from chat history.
Close the daily loop
Confirm the rendered page, its publication metadata, canonical identity, family index, sitemap entry, and image. If any required surface disagrees, return the route to correction and verify the full row again after deployment. This supports DelegationAssistant’s mission of reliable daily article creation and SEO improvement with evidence that remains reviewable.
