MEASUREMENT BLUEPRINT · REVIEWED 4 SEPTEMBER 2026

Source-led research to publishable briefing

Can AI reduce research time while keeping citations, uncertainty and editorial accountability visible?

BEFORE THE PILOT

Record a credible baseline.

  1. 01Research minutes per briefing
  2. 02Claims with a primary-source citation
  3. 03Corrections found during editorial review
CONTROLLED WORKFLOW

Four accountable stages.

01

Build an approved source pack before drafting.

02

Extract claims with citations and explicit uncertainty.

03

Draft from the evidence table, not open-ended model memory.

04

An editor verifies every material claim against the original source.

STARTING SHORTLIST

Test the role, not the logo.

Product access and pricing change. Read the dated review, confirm supplier terms and run each tool against the same acceptance rules.

STOP / GO CONTROLS

Non-negotiable gates

  • No anonymous AI-generated source is treated as evidence.
  • Primary sources outrank summaries.
  • Publication retains named human accountability.
AFTER THE TEST

Report the failures as carefully as the gains.

State the sample, dates, people, tool plans, accepted-output definition and correction effort. A useful result can be reproduced; a marketing claim cannot.
