- Checked automatically
- the publication gate: the analysis finished cleanly and its served text passed the public-content rules; no investment-recommendation wording; a cost direction is withheld when the story's own words point the other way; the indexing rule: only stories with a cost direction, a three-step chain, a named organisation and a small-business cost are offered to search engines.
- What people did
