# Fact Check

Go through a draft claim by claim and confirm each against a primary source
before the story runs.

## When to use

- A draft is ready and must be verified before publishing.
- A claim is disputed and needs standing up or removing.

## Steps

1. **Extract** every checkable claim, number, and quote.
2. **Trace** each to a primary source, not a secondary report.
3. **Confirm** quotes and context with the source where possible.
4. **Flag** anything unverifiable and propose a fix or a cut.
5. **Log** the source behind each verified claim.

## Output

A fact-check log: each claim marked verified or flagged, with its source,
following the [[Editorial standards]]. Unverified claims do not run.
