- The draft turns a paraphrase or note summary into a direct quotation
- Use the raw transcript for quotes, cite timestamps, and keep paraphrases outside quotation marks.
- A time or money saving claim lacks baseline, period, scope, or evidence
- Record the customer's method and qualifier, verify it with the owner, or present it as an attributed estimate.
- The copy editor imposes brand language that changes the customer's meaning
- Lock factual and quoted spans, preserve customer language, and use the voice guide only for connective copy.
- A transcript, company name, person, logo, or story is reused beyond the agreed scope
- Track consent and allowed channels, share the final draft with the customer, and remove material that is not approved.
