Where human review belongs in digital content
Episode notes on checking the substance of digital work before sharing it.
Review the claim before the polish
A fluent draft can still contain an unsupported statement. Mark factual claims, names, quantities and quotations that need checking. Return to approved source material rather than treating confident phrasing as evidence.
Check the brief and the audience
Read the work against the original goal. Does it answer the right question? Is the language appropriate for the audience? Remove material that is impressive in isolation but irrelevant to the decision the reader needs to make.
Check rights and disclosure
Use material you are authorised to provide and publish. Agree the treatment of confidential inputs and any synthetic voice or likeness. When the use of generated content affects how a person interprets the output, make that context clear.
Keep responsibility visible
Decide who approves the final version and record important changes. A reusable checklist helps, but it does not remove the need for judgement. The final responsibility sits with the people using and publishing the work.
Put it into practice
- Identify claims that require a source.
- Confirm permitted inputs and output use.
- Name the person who approves publication.
