Political & Policy - WriterzRoom

The Political & Policy vertical scopes generation to public policy, legislative briefings, regulatory commentary, campaign finance, election data, government communication, advocacy content, and public-sector analysis. Use it when content requires public-record sourcing, balanced framing, policy-specific terminology, citation discipline, or careful handling of contested claims.

What this vertical enforces

Each rule is read from the vertical’s configuration and checked against the finished draft at the Quality Gate, before publication. A draft that fails a blocking rule is sent back for revision or the run fails; it is not published with the defect.

Rule	Setting	Effect
Access	Starter	Requires Starter access or higher. Requests from accounts below it are refused (HTTP 403) before any credit is charged, from Studio or the API.
Source minimum	5 sources	Research must return at least 5 usable sources or no draft is written. Templates that declare citations optional or forbidden are exempt.
Mandatory disclaimers	1	Inserted by the formatter when absent, then confirmed present at the gate. A draft missing one is blocked.
Forbidden claims	5	Any occurrence blocks the draft, unless the sentence negates the claim (“we cannot guarantee…”).
Conditional claims	2	Permitted only with the stated support. A condition that asks for a citation or sourced data must be met by a citation within 300 characters; any other condition cannot be checked mechanically and is flagged for a reviewer.
Domain verification	Blocking, 2 verifiers	A verifier finding, or a verifier that could not run, blocks the draft.

Mandatory disclaimers

This content is for informational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute political advice or an endorsement of any candidate, party, or policy position.

Claim rules

Phrase	Rule	When unmet
guaranteed election outcome	Never used	Blocks
definitive prediction	Never used	Blocks
will certainly win	Never used	Blocks
proven fraud	Never used	Blocks
rigged election	Never used	Blocks
polling shows	Cite specific poll with margin of error	Blocks
majority support	Cite sourced survey data	Blocks

Matching is by phrase, case-insensitive. A paraphrase of a forbidden claim is not caught by this rule; it is one reason human review remains required for regulated content.

Domain verification

Verifier	What it does not establish
`political.polling`	Checks that a reported margin of error is attainable for the sample size stated alongside it; it does not establish that the survey was conducted, that the sample is representative, that weighting was sound, or that the result is accurate.
`common.quantities`	Checks internal numeric consistency patterns; it does not establish that an external factual claim is true.

A verifier that cannot decide an object reports it as unverifiable, which is recorded separately from a pass. See Content Governance for how verdicts reach the passport.

Research policy

These settings shape which sources research gathers and how they rank. They influence evidence quality; they are not checks on the finished draft.

Setting	Value	Effect
Preferred domains	`apnews.com`, `archives.gov`, `ballotpedia.org`, `bls.gov`, `brookings.edu`, `cbo.gov`, `census.gov`, `cia.gov`, `congress.gov`, `electionlab.mit.edu`, `fairvote.org`, `fec.gov`, `federalregister.gov`, `fema.gov`, `gao.gov`, `govinfo.gov`, `oyez.org`, `pewresearch.org`, `pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov`, `reuters.com`, `sec.gov`, `supremecourt.gov`, `usa.gov`, `uscode.house.gov`, `whitehouse.gov`	Ranked as high-authority sources.
Excluded domains	`facebook.com`, `instagram.com`, `linkedin.com`, `reddit.com`, `tiktok.com`, `twitter.com`, `x.com`, `youtube.com`	Scored at zero authority, so they are not relied on.
Recency	12-month half-life	A source’s recency weight halves every 12 months; older sources rank lower but are not excluded.
Scholarly share	40% target	Share of sources from scholarly, journal, or government domains. A shortfall is logged; it does not stop the run.

Catalog scope

This vertical permits 14 templates and 31 style profiles. A request for a template or style outside the allowlist is refused (HTTP 422); it is not silently substituted.

Inputs that change the result

Supply these where they apply. Each one narrows the draft or gives research something specific to find:

Jurisdiction
Policy issue
Timeframe
Intended audience
Level of neutrality required
Preferred sources
Source types to avoid
Bill, regulation, agency, candidate, committee, or filing name
Relevant dates
Whether the output is analytical, informational, advocacy-oriented, or internal
Whether statistics, polling, public records, or legal citations are required

For political and policy content, provide the jurisdiction, timeframe, policy issue, source expectations, and intended audience. These details improve neutrality, sourcing, and claim control.

WriterzRoom generates political and policy content for informational and analytical purposes only. Outputs do not constitute legal advice, political advice, campaign strategy, endorsement, or a definitive prediction of election, legislative, or regulatory outcomes.

When to use another vertical

Content need	Better vertical
Legal interpretation of statutes, contracts, or litigation	Legal
Fintech regulation, banking, payments, or investment analysis	Fintech
Healthcare policy involving clinical claims	Healthcare and Medical AI
Real estate zoning, housing markets, or property investment	Real Estate & Property

Limits

The rules above check the draft against this vertical’s configuration. They do not establish that the content is accurate, current, or appropriate for a particular reader or jurisdiction.
Research policy ranks sources; it does not guarantee that any particular authority was consulted.
Required reviews and their qualifications are set by Policies and the template, not by the vertical alone.
