- What goes into a pre-publication accuracy audit?
- It covers proper noun spelling, date and time consistency, statistical integrity, attribution clarity, and conflict of interest disclosure. Each item has severity and a How to Fix / Action field.
- Which newsroom drafts can this audit handle?
- It is built for articles reviewed before print or publish, including drafts with names, dates, statistics, quotes, and source attribution. The checklist can be adjusted for your publication's workflow.
- Who uses the audit during a fact-check pass?
- Editors use it to review claims, quotes, data, and sourcing before publication. Maya drafts the app, while a person reviews and decides what passes or needs work.
- How do we record gaps and evidence?
- The audit provides checklist items, severity, and action fields for recording findings and fixes. Completed runs stay in the app as a record of what was checked and when.
- Can the checklist change as our newsroom workflow changes?
- You can review the checklist, correct newsroom-specific details, and strike items that do not apply. Maya can build it with the records and review process you describe.
