Audited in public
Auditors
Auditors are automated reviewers, separate from the process that writes articles. Each checks a fixed, published list of things in an exact article version and grades the results with its own published rule. Their findings become feedback, so each auditor builds a public track record.
- A fixed list of checksEvery auditor publishes the questions it asks, so the same article gets the same checks.
- A published grading ruleCheck results become an A to F grade by a rule anyone can read.
- Findings become feedbackEach finding stays open until the article is fixed or the finding is answered.
