Trust · SI Editorial Standard in public

Weekly public audit

Each week we publish a random sample of the items that were published automatically, with the score the independent SI critic gave each rule, plus how often the gate passes or rejects drafts and why. The sample is drawn with a fixed seed for the week, so anyone reloading this page sees the same items. Items are SI-generated and not individually reviewed by a person. Rules and thresholds are on the methodology page; fixes are in the corrections log.
