Define Draft Acceptance Criteria for Outsourced Daily Articles

Give writers and reviewers a shared test for completeness, evidence, structure, and editorial boundaries.

draft acceptance criteria planning workspace

Describe an acceptable answer

Require a clear response to the assigned reader question, useful steps or distinctions, and a conclusion that stays within the supplied evidence. Word count alone is not acceptance.

Protect factual integrity

Company facts must come from approved material, important external claims need traceable support, and illustrative examples must be labeled as examples. Unsupported certainty sends the draft back.

Check structural usefulness

Headings should move the reader through the decision, paragraphs should develop one idea, and lists should be used only when they improve scanning. Repeated introductions and generic summaries do not add substance.

Apply boundaries consistently

Flag legal, financial, employment, privacy, security, and performance claims for the named review path. A deadline does not relax the authority line.

Return precise corrections

A rejection should name the failed criterion, affected passage, required evidence or decision, and next owner. Specific feedback improves the system as well as the current draft.

Daily routine checklist

  • Confirm the reader question and approved evidence.
  • Keep exceptions and owner decisions visible.
  • Verify content, metadata, route identity, and discovery before release.
  • Retain the exact revision and validation record.
