Research Editorial Handoff Checklist
A structured handoff lets an editor accept a research draft without reconstructing the researcher’s entire evidence trail.

Headline signal
6 handoff fields: status, claims, sources, limits, links, owner (Google Search Central: SEO starter guide). Treat this as context for planning, not a guarantee about a particular assistant or operating result.
Analysis and operating context
Methodology: the checklist joins factual QA, source traceability, and the owner decision into one reviewable handoff.
Include status, headline claim, source ledger, open questions, limitations, internal links, metadata, and the next owner action.
Mark each claim accepted, returned, qualified, or blocked. Do not use “done” when a reviewer or source decision remains outstanding.
Archive the handoff with the published Research path so future updates start from evidence rather than memory.
