This checklist records editorial work. Completing it does not predict citation, ranking, traffic, or sales. Keep unresolved items visible and name an owner for each.

Claims and sources

• [ ] Identify the main answer and the conditions where it applies.
• [ ] List the important factual claims in a claim ledger.
• [ ] Open each source and verify the relevant passage supports the nearby claim.
• [ ] Distinguish provider documentation, research, first-party observations, and recommendations.
• [ ] Keep units, dates, product versions, sample boundaries, and limitations near the claim.
• [ ] Remove unsupported superlatives and invented authority signals.

Structure and safe use

• [ ] Use headings for real subquestions and ordered steps for required sequences.
• [ ] State prerequisites and stop conditions for procedures.
• [ ] Mark illustrative examples as examples, not observed results.
• [ ] Check whether an isolated summary retains critical qualifications.
• [ ] Run the structure checker, then perform a separate factual review.

Publication and maintenance

• [ ] Identify an accountable author or editorial team honestly.
• [ ] Record a real publication and review date.
• [ ] Check the page is intended to be public and shows the expected content.
• [ ] Provide a corrections route and assign review triggers.
• [ ] Link to a useful next learning or tool step.
