Outside-media drafting
Ollama creates a new three- or four-paragraph report only for outside publishers. The model may organize and clearly explain supported details, but it may not invent facts or import outside background.
Direct Town mode
The Town of Osoyoos official news-alerts collection is published directly with attribution and a link to the municipality. These notices bypass AI rewriting, numeric-token checks, claim-verifier retries and originality thresholds; only navigation, footer text and repeated site boilerplate are removed.
Separate media verification
For outside sources, a second structured pass checks each material factual claim and any event fields against the same evidence. Sourced coverage is not rejected merely because it concerns crime, violence or another difficult subject.
Originality checks for media
For non-Town media sources, the system measures matching word sequences, whole-text similarity and sentence similarity. Drafts that remain too close are rewritten or withheld.
Human-submitted tips
Submission forms use a signed arithmetic puzzle, a hidden honeypot, minimum completion time and rate limits. Tips require a public supporting source and are not fed directly into automatic publication.
