Prove diligence before you publish
Decompose every article into verified assertions, enforce sourcing and right-of-reply gates, and export a living dossier that proves your newsroom did the work — before a claim is ever disputed.
The problem
When a published allegation is disputed, your newsroom must prove — claim by claim — that it qualified its sources and gave the subject a genuine right of reply before print. Email threads and personal notes collapse under scrutiny because they are not structured, timestamped, or tied to the specific claim in dispute.
The solution
Editorial Fact-Checking & Right of Reply turns every article into a structured diligence record. Each assertion carries its sources, its solicitation, and an enforced publication gate, so proof of diligence is built by the workflow itself, not reconstructed afterward.
Everything a defensible dossier needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Assertion-Level Verification
Break every article into individual claims and track verification status per assertion instead of a single whole-article flag, so nothing gets a false pass.
Source Qualification Hierarchy
Record each source as primary, secondary, or stakeholder, with nature, quality, access date, and an archived URL, giving every claim a concrete evidence trail.
Enforced Publication Gates
Automatic gates block publication of sensitive claims without a primary source and named allegations without two independent sources or a right-of-reply resolution — policy becomes enforcement, not a hope.
Guided Blocked-Claim Resolution
When a gate fails, the assertion form surfaces the exact reason alongside one-click fixes: add a source, mark not sensitive, record a solicitation, or override with a signed reason.
Right-of-Reply Solicitation
Send right-of-reply outreach by email directly from the assertion, with the method, letter, deadline, and response state all logged automatically as proof of contact.
Deadline-Aware Alerts
A scheduled check flags approaching and missed right-of-reply deadlines with a recommended next action, so no solicitation window lapses unnoticed.
Post-Publication Challenge Tracking
Log challenges raised after publication, triage them by priority, and respond from reusable templates — the article automatically reopens as challenged.
Living Dossier Export
Generate an on-demand PDF verification dossier that reflects the article's current state, with optional sources and challenges sections, so the file stays accurate after re-verification.
Bulk Actions & Letter Library
Tag many assertions as sensitive at once, generate right-of-reply solicitations for an entire article's allegations in a single action, and draft from a reusable legal letter-template library.
How it works
Decompose the article
Create an article and break it into individual assertions, flagging which are sensitive or name a subject.
Qualify sources
Attach primary, secondary, and stakeholder sources to each assertion; the publication gates evaluate automatically as sources are added.
Solicit & resolve
Send right-of-reply solicitations, record responses, and resolve any blocked gate with a documented fix or signed override.
Publish & export
Publish once every required gate clears, then print the living dossier PDF for legal, compliance, or a press council.
