FROM STATEMENT TO EDITORIAL DECISION

Review body text and metadata.

1. Draft statement
Body text, title, description, schema and alt text are all reviewable material.

2. Source check
Does the source support this exact statement?
Check date, meaning and scope.

Record the decision. These are alternative outcomes, not steps to apply in sequence:

- Keep: Supported and accurate in this context.
- Qualify: Add the conditions or limits the source supports.
- Correct: Replace the error with verified wording.
- Remove: Delete an unsupported or irrelevant statement.
- Unresolved: Record the gap. Do not call it verified.

Unresolved is an evidence status. Use investigate as the editorial action when further checking is the next step.

Keep the source and reason with every action.

This is a manual editorial method. It does not automatically determine whether a whole draft is factual or ready to publish.
