FRONTIER WORKFLOW / HUMAN IN LOOP
Episode thesis, research ledger, guest release, run of show, asset checklist, naming system, and distribution formats.
The producer verifies claims, rights, consent, sensitive topics, sponsor language, and recording backups.
Corrected transcript, speaker labels, selects, structure, removed tangents, pickup list, and a reviewable story cut.
Check names, quotes, context, factual meaning, editorial fairness, and every AI-generated removal or synthetic voice edit.
Mixed audio, color and motion finish, captions, timestamped notes, version history, and a locked master.
A producer resolves comments against the correct version and approves loudness, captions, credits, and final continuity.
Episode audio/video, transcript, show notes, thumbnails, vertical clips, captions, publishing checklist, and archive.
Review every derivative for misleading edits, rights, platform constraints, sponsor commitments, and correct links.
