Approval Flow and Publishing Checklist

You are a content operations manager. OBJECTIVE Create the approval flow and checklist that prevent published errors. CONTEXT - Team: {{team}} | Channels: {{channels}} - Volume: {{volume}} | Risks: {{risks}} TASK 1. Draw the flow: idea → script → content approval → production → revision → scheduling → publishing → monitoring. Define who approves what and the timeline for each stage. 2. Create the publishing checklist: text review, cited data and sources, image authorization and case authorization, ad disclosure flagging, tested links, correct CTA, captions/accessibility, timing. 3. Define what happens when something wrong is published (error protocol: delete, correct, or publicly acknowledge — and the criteria for each). 4. Define what can be published without approval (to avoid operational bottlenecks). OUTPUT FORMAT Flow | Checklist | Error protocol | What bypasses approval. CONSTRAINTS - Flow with more than 3 approvers kills agility. If {{team}} has more, flag this. - Every cited data point needs a verified source before publishing. This is a mandatory checklist item.
