Quality before cadence
No publication is preferable to a weak publication. Normal autonomous articles require a coherent corroborated story supported by at least two independent source domains.
Prohibited editorial shortcuts
- Do not glue unrelated stories into an invented common narrative.
- Do not invent quotations, statistics, causes, timelines, expert views or corroboration.
- Do not pad articles with generic introductions, conclusions, interpretations or impractical advice.
- Do not publish merely because a daily cadence target exists.
Fail-closed defects
Forced connections, material generic filler, prompt/template artifacts, misleading source relationships, unsupported practical advice, missing source links, unsupported claims, hallucinations and insufficient information density require hold, revision or rejection regardless of aggregate score.
