# Publish Stage — Elaboration

## Criteria Guidance

### Good criteria — concrete and verifiable

- "Distribution log records publish timestamps, channels, and initial engagement metrics for every asset"
- "Cross-posting strategy adapts format per platform rather than identical copy-paste"
- "Community seeding plan identifies at least 3 forums or channels for organic discussion"

### Bad criteria — vague (no clear check)

- "Content is published"
- "Channels are covered"
- "Post is live"
