Accuracy before speed
Publication requires locality, a configured source, duplicate checks and factual support. Media reports also undergo numeric and originality checks.
Direct Town notices
Items from the Town of Osoyoos official news-alerts collection are published directly as attributed municipal notices. They do not enter AI rewriting, claim-verifier retries, numeric-token checks or originality screening. The official headline and useful notice text are preserved, while navigation and footer boilerplate are removed.
Source-based media reporting
For outside publishers, the writing and verification models may restate, organize and explain source facts in clear language but may not add material facts.
Difficult subjects
Crime, violence, hate incidents, injury and death are not automatically excluded when reported by a configured official or news source. Coverage must be neutral, non-sensational, clearly attributed and free of unnecessary graphic detail or harmful operational instructions.
Automatic publication
Local sourced stories that pass spam and evidence checks publish without manual approval. Media-source stories must also pass originality checks. Temporary technical failures are deferred and retried automatically. News tips are never auto-published and are screened separately.
Permanent archive
Published articles are not automatically deleted. After 365 days they leave active news listings and move into year-and-month archive pages while their original URLs remain available. Clearly dated past events are labelled as expired.
