What you receive: the draft, the evidence trail, the review record

Every piece of work is built around three things.

The draft

1 A reference marker: hover it to see the source.2 Who answered.

Step 1 of 3The draft: an answer on the page, every claim with its reference.
  • The draft is the page itself. Your words and the experts' words are on the same page. Accept or reject what the experts propose.
  • The evidence trail lets a reviewer check the work without redoing it. On the page, it is the numbered citations [1], the Sources tab, Verify, and the Evidence and Sources page added under your work.
  • The review record shows who decided. On the page, it is the activity history and, where there are approval steps, the Gates tab and its export.

Deeper work leaves a fuller record. A Panel or an Analysis cites more sources than a short Brief. Approval steps with named reviewers come with Missions (in build).
