Use the kit as one loop

  1. Frame: complete the brief before the research scope expands.
  2. Build: add a ledger row for each material factual claim.
  3. Verify: run QA before publishing and again on the exact public URL.
  4. Maintain: set a concrete review date or trigger instead of "update later."
