Publication control
A newsroom should have a memory.
New Clause5afe articles should live on Clause5afe.com first. Social platforms distribute the work rather than function as the permanent archive.
Older analysis retains its original publication date and may receive a visible update note when laws, timelines, or market facts have changed.
External factual claims should link to suitable primary or authoritative sources whenever the source is publicly available.
Material post-publication changes should be distinguishable from silent copy edits when they alter the meaning of the analysis.
