QA holds before publishing

  • Writer pass completed 2026-06-14 with current official/stadium/ticket sources first.
  • Fact-check SIFT/CRAAP pass: official club, stadium, ticket and fan pages used before tourism, venue, hotel and guide sources.
  • FanChants voice pass: practical, fan-first, no marketese and no single ranked food/pub/hotel claim.
  • Writing-for-the-web pass: answer-first summary, option clusters, short itinerary steps and reusable social angles.
  • Homegrown fact-checker hard rules pass: no stadium-recording claim, no absolute clearance claim, no tune/source-work/composer leakage.
  • Recommendation QA: food, drink and hotel rows are options with current-check caveats, not guarantees.
  • Away fan QA: away blocks/routes are source-backed but must follow ticket, SLO and police guidance for a live fixture.
  • Map QA: official map is linked only; FanChants redraw should be rebuilt from sourced stand rows in the later map-quality pass.
