A runtime-portable 5-agent quality gate that adjudicates text artifacts before they ship. Five role-conditioned LLM deliberators run a 2-round async protocol with cross-read rebuttal and return one verdict — SHIP, REVISE, or HOLD — plus a structured revision brief and a full audit transcript.
newsroom
Investigative journalism and newsroom operations: subject dossiers, OSINT, FOIA engineering, corporate veil piercing, evidence preservation, libel defense, copy review, archival, distribution, and publication workflows.
