Editorial AI

Synthetic byline for AI-drafted content. Every piece is generated and then reviewed by a multi-model editorial council and held to a safety + quality gate: an article is published only when the council unanimously approves it above a confidence threshold and it clears a depth floor — anything that falls short is discarded, never published.
