- CheckAny figure without a source or an approved license blocks publishing, as does missing, stale or malformed data.
- ReviewAutomated. Each brief is written by an AI workflow from official sources and must pass automated source and accuracy checks before it publishes.
- PublishThe page and the morning email go out from the same data, so they always match.
Yottabyte Services builds workflows like this one for operators: one process, clear rules, a person for exceptions, and a log leadership can follow.
