Editorial method
Curiosity is the beginning, not the evidence.
Daily Animal Facts is designed so publication claims can be traced, reviewed and corrected without hiding the operational state.
1 · Scope the claim
An editor separates a compelling idea into specific factual claims, qualifications and known uncertainties.
2 · Attach evidence
Every claim receives a locator in an authoritative source. Source tiers favour research, governments, museums, universities and professional bodies.
3 · Check the link
Automated checks record availability, redirects, status and a content hash. A reachable page is not treated as scientific approval.
4 · Human review
Named people must record source, science, copy and accessibility decisions. Legal or licensing review is required when the material calls for it.
5 · Schedule and publish
The system blocks publication until required gates pass. The exact approved version is bound to a dated edition and permanent URL.
6 · Monitor and correct
Sources are rechecked, corrections create a new version, and the public page keeps a plain-language correction note.
