Set review-comment severity for virtual assistant article drafts
Route factual risks, required edits, and optional preferences without burying the writer in an undifferentiated comment list.
Make severity describe the publication risk
Labels should describe what happens if a comment remains unresolved. A factual contradiction or privacy exposure can block release. A confusing transition may require correction without specialist review. A stylistic preference can remain optional. Never use severity as a judgment about the writer.
Define a small useful scale
A practical scale might include release blocker, required revision, owner decision, and optional suggestion. Give each label a plain definition and one real example from approved work. Avoid adding more categories until the team can apply the current set consistently.
Anchor the comment to evidence
Point to the exact sentence, heading, link, or metadata field. For factual comments, attach the source and explain the mismatch. For scope comments, refer to the accepted brief. A vague instruction such as improve this forces the assistant to infer the reviewer's concern.
Close every material comment
Record whether the comment was resolved, declined, superseded, or escalated. The editor owns release blockers and business-position decisions. The assistant can make authorized revisions and show the changed passage, but should not silently mark a disputed fact as accepted.
Use patterns to improve intake
Review recurring comment types without converting the log into an individual score. Repeated source-scope comments may point to a weak brief. Repeated metadata errors may need a release template. Fix the earliest control that can prevent the defect.
Put the routine into practice
Start with one article lane and keep editorial, security, legal, financial, and business approvals with the named owners. OverseasVirtualAssistant.com can help scope Philippines-based support around the preparation and handoff work.
