EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Turn evidence into a clear visual without distorting a number or losing its source.

For work involving verified research findings, cited figures, and proposed visual explanations, confirm permission and check the facts before taking the next step. Prepare an infographic draft from approved research and references for an editor or subject expert. Charts and visual simplifications can distort scale or imply unsupported conclusions, and source images may be protected. Verify every statistic and axis, preserve attribution and uncertainty, clear visual assets, check accessibility, and require a qualified reviewer to approve the complete design before distribution.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Record sources and permitted uses

Keep source links, retrieval dates, licenses, attribution, and reuse limits available.

Set fact-checking and disclosure standards

Define how claims, quotations, translations, and commercial disclosures are checked.

Protect unpublished material

Restrict briefs, source files, customer details, and drafts to designated reviewers.

Require approval before publishing

Keep posting, scheduling, and external distribution paused until explicit human sign-off.

Keep exploring

Review video-to-thread drafts

Adapt a video for a new format without changing what the speaker said or who may reuse it. Check evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.

Review community-sourced social drafts

Share a useful observation without exposing a community member or passing their words off as your own. Check evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.
