Daily article operations guide
Test the article title promise before a remote VA writes the close
Compare the finished draft with the decision the title tells readers they will be able to make.
Where the work breaks
A polished draft can answer a different question than its title, especially when useful research pulls the middle in a new direction.
A routine the team can repeat
Write the title as a plain reader promise. Once the body is stable, check the opening, main sections, and close against that promise.
What to keep in the record
Retain the working title, final title, and one-sentence reason for a change. Save useful side questions as separate assignments.
Who decides
The writer may propose a sharper title. The editor approves identity changes because they affect the slug, metadata, links, and reader expectations.
Use this in the daily queue
Apply the check to one named article and keep the result with that article’s release record. A short, specific entry is more useful than a generic "done" status.
