Public experience
Start with structure. Make the publication your own.
Themes control the public experience while the underlying content remains structured. Choose the closest starting point, then shape the identity, navigation, and content around the publication.
Browse the starting pointsThe Judge
Assessment belongs next to the work it is assessing.
The Judge identifies potential issues and produces structured findings and recommendations. From there, the publisher can return to the relevant article, page, or publication setting.
AI can help explain a finding in clearer language. It does not determine the assessment or predict a decision made by an external platform.
