Create an editorial fact-check checklist for a draft

A fact-check pass should produce a list of verifiable claims and evidence gaps. Grammar corrections alone cannot establish factual accuracy.

Set the editorial constraints

Give the writing teammate a clear audience, purpose and approved facts. Include a short voice sample when tone matters, and state what the draft must not promise. Save a draft file for review rather than treating a generated message as published copy. A final human edit should verify names, dates, claims and links against the source material.

Inputs for this workflow: A draft and the source packet used to write it.

Work through the task

1. Extract names, dates, numbers and capability statements.
2. Classify each as supported, conflicting or unverified.

A brief you can adapt

Write editorial-review.md with draft location, claim, source and correction needed. Keep style suggestions separate from factual issues.

The filenames above are examples. Replace them with your actual inputs and destination before submitting the task.

Review the deliverable

Review all consequential claims and confirm that the final wording matches the source strength.

Where this approach can fail

Do not mark external facts current when the only evidence is an old snapshot.
