From lede to verified story

  1. 1 · Lead

    Tips and assignments in one desk

    Leads get an owner and a deadline before they go cold.

  2. 2 · Draft

    AI drafts from your sources

    Reporters start from notes and documents, never from a blank page.

  3. 3 · Verify

    Sources, claim checks, sign-off

    An editor approves every story, and the checks stay on record for readers.

  4. 4 · Publish

    Site, newsletter, translations

    One click to the site and the brief, in every language you serve.
