Fact Versus Recommendation Editing
A fact-and-recommendation pass prevents a practical staffing suggestion from being mistaken for a sourced industry finding.
Headline signal: 2 labels: sourced fact and operating recommendation (Google Search Central: Creating helpful content).
Methodology: the edit classifies each material sentence before publication and preserves the boundary between evidence and judgment.
Attach the publisher and source note to reported facts. Label local targets, workflow rules, and Outsourced Assistants advice as recommendations or operating choices.
Remove universal language when the evidence only supports a contextual conclusion. Explain what would change the recommendation.
Have the owner review the final recommendation because editorial QA cannot replace business judgment.
