Say only what the evidence supports
It is tempting to finish a one-line fact by adding an official link. But the existence of an official page does not mean that it supports every part of the statement.
Read the evidence first
This editorial proposal starts with reading the evidence before writing the claim. The question is not only where an explanation comes from, but how much that material allows us to say. This is a proposed writing practice, not the launch of a verification feature or a report of measured results.
Suppose a fictional event page says that applications are open. That alone does not support “Everyone who applies has a confirmed place.” Receiving an application and confirming attendance are different states; selection or capacity conditions may apply. This is a fictional writing example, not an actual event or published Source.
When a claim exceeds its evidence
When a sentence goes beyond its evidence, remove the unsupported part first. A notice explaining the application process may be more useful than a general homepage. A more specific page is not automatically accurate, however. Check who published it and whether its wording and conditions support the statement.
Three questions guide this proposed review: Which part of the sentence can be checked directly? What interpretation have I added? Have I left out an important condition? If official materials disagree, do not select the more favorable version and present it as settled. Hold the disputed claim until the difference is resolved.
Separate writing from verification
This practice does not mean that ORFA independently verifies every fact. A public original provides a starting point for checking information; it does not replace reading the evidence and its conditions. Public access is different from permission to reuse, just as accepting applications is different from confirming attendance.
ORFA turns one official fact into a public Source with its own URL and publication date, creating an original that people and AI can consult or cite. It does not guarantee promotional results or exposure, ranking, citation, or training inclusion in any AI system.
Before writing your first fact, read the supporting page. Start with a sentence that says only what the evidence supports.
