The one rule that overrides everything: at Stage 7, any piece touching a health, financial/crypto, legal, accusatory, or unverifiable claim is adjudicated by the autonomous AI Editor-in-Chief — publish, remediate, or spike. Fully autonomous; no human in the loop. The value of a newsroom is in the stops, not just the writing.
