Relevance test
A headline qualifies only when it can be explained accurately, attributed to a credible source, and connected to a real decision or learning need. Popularity alone is not enough.
Routing rules
Stories should link to a Reserve One resource only when the resource directly helps the reader understand or model the issue. The system should avoid repetitive cross-links and should never force a product recommendation into unrelated news.
Expiration and archive
Fast-changing briefs should display timestamps and expire from prominent placement. Strong explanatory pieces may be moved to a permanent archive after review and backfill.
