NowShout begins with source discovery, but a story is not treated as verified until the required official court material is obtained and fingerprinted. Secondary databases may assist discovery; they do not substitute for the official document when policy requires it.
The editorial workflow separates allegations, party arguments, court findings, procedural history and final orders. Claim-level provenance links material statements to their supporting source. Where dates are available, a sourced timeline is built without inferring missing events.
Before publication, the workflow checks the latest located appeal, review or curative outcome within the defined official-source search. The article states the latest verified result and any material limitation. Disposition—such as acquittal, complaint quashed, remand or appeal dismissed—is recorded explicitly with supporting claims and sources rather than guessed from keywords.
Privacy and victim dignity are assessed independently of factual accuracy. Identifying details may be removed even from public documents when they are unnecessary or harmful. Fictional editorial content is kept separate from verified real-case reporting.
Navya and other automated tools may help extract, structure, compare and draft material. Deterministic checks test provenance, privacy, outcome freshness, canonical identity and technical quality. Automation does not make the system infallible and does not independently authorise publication. Human/owner authority remains required where configured.
When reliable new official material changes the outcome, NowShout should update the article under the Corrections Policy and record an accurate modified date.
