Daily article operations guide
Close each content VA shift with an unresolved-claim register
Carry open evidence questions forward without hiding them inside comments or unfinished prose.
Where the routine breaks
An uncertain sentence can disappear among dozens of document comments, leaving the next shift unsure whether it was verified, rejected, or simply overlooked.
The daily routine
List every unresolved claim with its draft location, attempted sources, exact uncertainty, risk level, owner, and next action.
Evidence to retain
The receiver acknowledges the register and records the disposition before the claim can pass the publication gate.
Ownership and escalation
High-risk claims stay out of the releasable draft. An assistant can research and summarize but cannot convert silence into approval.
Keep the routine bounded
A Philippines-based assistant can prepare records, complete repeatable checks, and surface exceptions. The editor retains authority over claims, scope, and publication. Legal, security, financial, and business decisions remain with their authorized owners.
