# Downloadable AI Content Review Checklist

Review an AI-assisted draft for usefulness, factual reliability, originality, privacy, and publication readiness before a human editor approves it.

## Usage note

Use this as a final editorial gate, not as proof that a passage was written by a person or a machine. Keep the original draft and evidence beside the reviewed version.

## How to use this template

1. Record what the AI tool contributed and what a person contributed.
2. Check the draft against the intended reader, question, and next step.
3. List and verify every claim that could materially affect a decision.
4. Revise generic, repetitive, unsupported, or privacy-sensitive passages.
5. Assign a clear decision—publish, revise, or reject—and name the owner of any remaining work.
