Daily article operations guide
Name a backup reviewer for same-day VA articles
Protect the publishing routine when the primary reviewer is unexpectedly unavailable.

Where the routine breaks
A completed draft can miss its release because the only authorized reviewer is in a meeting, off shift, or handling a higher-risk decision.
The daily routine
Assign a primary and backup reviewer when the brief is scheduled. Define which topics the backup may approve and which must wait for a specialist.
Evidence to retain
The approval record names who reviewed, when they acted, what they checked, and any claims left pending.
Ownership and escalation
Availability does not expand authority. Regulated or sensitive claims remain with the qualified owner even when that means rescheduling.
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.
