QA holds before publishing

  • AI writing pass: page stays answer-first and avoids marketese.
  • Writing-for-the-web pass: short titles, scannable rows, numerals where facts are specific.
  • FanChants voice pass: no AI-isms, no inflated single-best recommendations.
  • Homegrown fact-checker pass: no stadium-recording claim, no absolute clearance claim, no tune/source-work leakage.
  • SIFT/CRAAP pass: stable facts are source-backed; volatile tickets, venues, hotels and routes require live re-check before production.
  • Recommendation QA: food, drink and hotel rows are options with caveats, not rankings.
  • Video QA: fan videos are lead-only until permission/embed/use terms are cleared.
  • Image QA: exact Commons file pages must carry licence, creator and attribution before use.
