Daily article operations guide
Run a first-hour live check for daily VA articles
Recheck the public route soon after deployment while the release context is still fresh.

Where the routine breaks
A successful deployment does not prove that caching, metadata, images, indexes, and generated discovery files show the intended page.
A workable daily rule
Open every new route directly, then check its family index and sitemap against the release list.
Make the handoff explicit
The release owner records the commit, deployment, response code, visible date, structured date, canonical, and asset results.
Check the result
Count passes against the full planned denominator. A sampled result cannot close the campaign.
Keep ownership clear
A Philippines-based assistant can prepare records, run repeatable checks, and raise exceptions. The editor retains authority over claims and publication. Legal, security, financial, and business exceptions stay with their authorized owners.
