1. Automated Quality Thresholds

All AI-curated articles must meet minimum quality thresholds before publication:

• Credibility Score: Articles must achieve a minimum credibility score of 60/100 based on source quality and verification
• Source Requirement: Articles must cite at least 2 independent sources
• Review Score: The automated reviewer must approve the article

2. Topics Not Covered

Our AI systems are configured to avoid or flag certain content types:

• Breaking emergencies: Fast-moving crises where misinformation risks are high
• Medical advice: Specific health recommendations (we report on health news, not provide advice)
• Financial advice: Specific investment recommendations
• Legal advice: Specific legal guidance
• Unverified claims: Rumors or single-source claims without corroboration

3. Bias Monitoring

Each article is analyzed for potential bias:

• Language analysis for loaded or emotional terms
• Source balance assessment across political spectrum
• Framing analysis for perspective bias

Articles with significant detected bias are flagged and may include additional context or be held for review.

1. Automatic hold: Content is held from publication pending review
