Start at the submission
An editor needs the original pitch, its sources, and a clear record of the author’s revisions. A detection report is an additional input to that review.
This article presents an illustrative workflow rather than reporting results from a named newsroom.
Turn highlights into questions
Read a flagged passage for specificity, sourcing, and consistency with the rest of the piece. Ask the writer to explain how it was researched and revised.
Check quotations and factual claims through the newsroom’s normal editorial process.
Keep the editorial decision human
Document the review and the reasons for any follow-up. The report should support an editor’s judgment rather than substitute for it.
