SOURCINGAMBER

Two factual assertions require stronger primary-source support.

BALANCEGREEN

The strongest competing interpretation is represented.

LEGAL / REPUTATIONGREEN

No obvious high-risk wording identified. Not legal advice.

REASONINGAMBER

One inference should be separated more clearly from established fact.

BTH Board review

READY FOR INDEPENDENT REVIEW

The article has completed the internal challenge. Package the master article, claims, sources and editorial rules for an independent Claude review.

REPURPOSE ENGINE

One master. Many outputs.

X campaign bank

LEVEL 1 · FACTUAL

A verified fact from the investigation, followed by a simple question.

LEVEL 2 · QUESTION

Most arguments start with the answer. What happens if we start with the evidence?

LEVEL 3 · CHALLENGING

Two sides are shouting. Both leave out something important. Here's the 60-second breakdown.

LEVEL 4 · PROVOCATIVE

The loudest version of this story may not be the most accurate. Look at what the evidence actually says.

ASSET LIBRARY
