How this story was made
An AI model drafted the headline, summary and body at 22 Oct 2026, 20:55 IST from 2 reports (afaqs!, Marketing Mind), in its own words, from the text in their public feeds. The same model then checked every claim against those reports at 23 Oct 2026, 14:34 IST; one unsupported claim and the draft would have been rejected. It went live automatically at 22 Oct 2026, 20:54 IST because that check, and the house-style check, passed. No editor has reviewed it yet; an editor can correct, hold or withdraw it at any time.
