# Fact-Check Process for Articles and AI-Synthesized Content

## Purpose

This skill provides a repeatable process for verifying factual accuracy of articles, blog posts, and news content before publication. v2.0 is specifically calibrated for the recursive-contamination problem: AI-generated text now constitutes a plurality of newly indexed English-language web pages (per Ahrefs measurement of newly indexed pages in April 2025), which means AI outputs become source material for the next generation of AI outputs and human research. Multi-source confidence requires graph independence, not raw count.
