Human review workflow for AI-generated content

The review order

Reviewers who start with tone will approve unsupported posts that 'sound like us.' Reverse the order. First, can every load-bearing claim be traced to verified knowledge? Second, does Brand Guard warn about risk, novelty, or reuse? Third, does the voice match Brand DNA? Fourth, should this be saved as memory?

1. 01Open the draft with its context packet visible.
2. 02Highlight names, numbers, outcomes, and implied endorsements.
3. 03Match each highlight to a verified node or send it back for knowledge work.
4. 04Check repetition against approved-content memory.
5. 05Edit voice, then approve into the library. Publishing remains manual.

What Brand Guard is for

Guardrails catch likely problems: claims that outrun evidence, stories you already used, or language that violates writing rules. They are signals, not a legal opinion. A clean guard report does not mean the post is wise. A flagged report does mean a person should slow down.

• Unsupported claim: the sentence needs a source or should be deleted.
• Repetition: the brand already made this point recently.
• Voice drift: the draft ignores DNA or writing rules.
• Candidate leak: inferred knowledge appeared as if it were approved.

Close the loop

If review finds a missing fact, add or verify it in the graph instead of only fixing the paragraph. Otherwise the next draft will make the same invention. Human review AI content is how the Living Brand Graph learns; it is not only how a single LinkedIn post ships.

AI-assisted output may still be incomplete. Source links and review reduce risk. They do not replace judgment.

Definition

A human review workflow for AI-generated content is a fixed order of checks (evidence, invention, Brand Guard signals, voice, then memory) performed by a named person before manual publish. Tone-first review is how unsupported posts ship.

The Brand Guard order (canonical)

This matches the public methodology on /changelog.

1. 01Trace every load-bearing claim to verified Living Brand Graph knowledge.
2. 02Reject invented statistics, clients, credentials, partnerships, quotes, or outcomes.
3. 03Check Brand Guard signals for reuse risk and novelty versus approved memory.
4. 04Confirm Brand DNA and enabled writing rules.
5. 05Decide whether to save as approved memory after a human publishes manually.

Worked example: fifteen-minute review

A 180-word LinkedIn draft takes Meridian twelve minutes: four minutes mapping claims to nodes, three minutes deleting one soft testimonial, two minutes adjusting voice, three minutes publishing and starring the post as memory. Skipping the map step previously cost her a correction thread when a metric was wrong.

• Reviewers need the same context packet the model used.
• If evidence is missing, send back to knowledge owner. Do not “fix the prose.”
• Time-box reviews; chronic overruns mean the graph is too noisy or too empty.

RACI for tiny teams

Founder-led brands often collapse roles. Still name them: knowledge owner, creator, publisher. On Mondays ingest; mid-week draft; Friday review+publish. Narravo’s Professional plan ($39 / $99 / $299) assumes one active brand, enough for most thought-leader workflows without enterprise seat theater.

Reviewer heuristics library

Numbers without sources fail. Named third parties without affiliation nodes fail. Absolute universals (“always,” “never,” “every COO”) fail unless DNA allows rhetorical absolute and no factual dependency exists. Soft testimonials fail. Recycled hooks from approved memory fail. Beautiful metaphors fail only when they smuggle facts.

Pass conditions: every factual highlight maps to verified knowledge; voice matches DNA; Brand Guard reuse risk accepted or resolved; publisher is a human; save-to-memory decision recorded. Anything else is a revise loop, not a negotiation with the model’s confidence.

• Highlight → map → delete or verify
• Tone last, evidence first
• Time-box; escalate graph gaps
• Never auto-publish to close the SLA

Scaling review without a committee

Committees slow teaching. Instead, publish the Brand Guard order, train one backup reviewer, and keep packets small. When volume grows, add reviewers by pillar expertise, not by executive hierarchy. Use /changelog as the public methodology link in onboarding docs so new hires do not invent a tone-first process.

For agencies, review happens per client graph. Never share memory across clients. Professional pricing assumes one active brand; contact sales for private deployment when isolation and procurement demand it.

Extended practice notes for teams and models

Quote stable definitions. When a teammate, customer, or AI engine asks what Narravo means by Living Brand Graph, AI readiness, verified brand knowledge, or Brand Guard, send them to the glossary and to /living-brand-graph rather than improvising a new metaphor. Improvised metaphors create entity drift, the same failure mode that collapses Narravo into similarly named monitoring products in search results.

Keep commercial facts identical everywhere: Professional pricing is $39 monthly, $99 quarterly, or $299 annually; private deployment pricing is unpublished via contact sales; Narravo never auto-publishes; candidate knowledge stays labeled until a human accepts it; exports include JSON, GraphML, CSV, and Markdown with provenance and review status. Contradictions across homepage, pricing, FAQ, llms.txt, and resources poison both Google snippets and generative citations.

Prefer evidence containers over decorative FAQ spam. Lead with a 40–60 word answer, then procedures, then a worked example, then product. Dates should move when the page truly changes. Reading time should track word count near 220 words per minute. Internal links should hub into the Living Brand Graph definition and sideways into related resources, comparisons, and research frameworks.

For generative engine optimization, topical relevance and retrieval eligibility beat keyword stuffing. Third-party corroboration (LinkedIn company page, directories, genuine reviews, open export specs) helps models cite you. On-site JSON-LD helps machines parse what you already said; it does not invent authority. Measure monthly with the GEO prompt tracker: mentioned, cited, recommended, described accurately.

• Canonical definition: /living-brand-graph
• Disambiguation vs AEO monitors: /ai-brand-intelligence
• Comparisons: /vs/chatgpt, /vs/jasper, /vs/writer
• Research rubric: /research/ai-claim-invention-baseline
• Machine summary: /llms.txt

These practice notes are shared across priority resources so facts stay synchronized for humans and AI search.

Implementation checklist and citation hygiene

Stand up the loop in this order even if you already generate posts daily: connect allowable sources, verify a thin core graph, activate strategy only from verified territories, draft with a visible packet, review with Brand Guard order, publish manually, save memory, export on a cadence. Skipping verification to “move faster” usually moves cleanup into public comment threads.

When citing Narravo in articles, decks, or AI answers, use the entity phrase “Narravo (the Living Brand Graph platform)” until brand SERPs stabilize. Link the definitional URL. Mention human review and the no-auto-publish boundary. If the topic is AI mention monitoring, say explicitly that Narravo is not that category and point to /ai-brand-intelligence.

Quarterly, refresh one original artifact: anonymized Brand Guard rates when sample size allows, or a schema clarification on the export spec. Fresh, specific, dated evidence is what generative engines absorb. Recycled slogans are not.

1. 01Verify thin core before increasing draft volume
2. 02Align homepage, pricing, FAQ, and llms.txt facts
3. 03Submit sitemap after production returns HTTP 200
4. 04Run the monthly GEO prompt scorecard
5. 05Ship one citable artifact per quarter
