Find the source. Check the record. Put it in place.

LECTIO / Dis­cov­ery

Fol­lows of­fi­cial sources, court and in­sti­tu­tion­al sites, schol­arly in­dexes, calls and event cal­en­dars. A feed item is a lead, not a record.

COL­LA­TIO / Veri­fic­a­tion

Checks the date, sub­ject, jur­is­dic­tion and source chain. Where a lead is sec­ond­ary, it goes to the ori­gin­al or au­thor­it­at­ive source. Ma­ter­i­al without a veri­fi­able source is not pub­lished.

EDITIO / Pub­lic­a­tion

Re­cords veri­fied ma­ter­i­al as a de­vel­op­ment, pub­lic­a­tion, call or event. It ap­pears with its date and source, then moves into the right issue.

How AI is used

AI helps find can­did­ates, clas­si­fy them and draft copy. It never re­places the source. An output without sup­port­ing evid­ence is not pub­lished.

Auto­ma­tion and later in­ter­ven­tion

Some re­cords may be pub­lished auto­mat­ic­ally after passing source and con­fid­ence checks. They can later be re­viewed, cor­rec­ted or re­moved. Not every record has prior human ap­prov­al.

Ed­it­or­i­al bound­ary

Se­lec­tion, head­ings and sum­mar­ies are ed­it­or­i­al acts. PIL.OT aims to dis­tin­guish them from veri­fi­able in­form­a­tion and make each record’s source basis clear. It does not advise on in­di­vidu­al mat­ters.
