Guidelines for Automated Services in the Scheme
General PrinciplesHuman-in-the-loop review is mandatory for all published content. Transparency: automatically generated segments are flagged. Fact-checking: every fact requires a source and a date. Rights: images must have a verified license; an automatic flag will be applied if none is present. Tone: «systematic, clear, non-elitist”—is checked automatically based on stop words and readability. Privacy: metrics must not contain personal data.
