Checklist

G1 — Truth: claims anchored to primary sources
Pass
Each shift is anchored to a named policy source (Deregulation Act 2015 90-night cap; planning-led enforcement; the Mayor's registration call — flagged as called-for, NOT legislated). Verified 2026-07-12.
G2 — No private / customer data
Pass
Zero customer, property, guest or price data anywhere in the article. It is education, not a listing.
G3 — No over-claim on legal status
Pass
The Mayor's 30/60-night registration proposal is stated as proposed / not-yet-law; figures are 'order of magnitude, not a fixed tariff'. A not-legal / not-tax-advice line is present.
G4 — No 'AI runs it' present-tense boast
Pass
'AI drafts, a human decides' framing; no claim the company is autonomously run.
G5 — Human gate honoured (no LLM autopublish)
Pass
The draft's 'pending human approval' banner was resolved by an actual named-human clearance (Suite CEO under the Human Gate), not by the model self-publishing, before deploy.
G6 — Machine-readability clean
Pass
Self-canonical; BlogPosting + FAQPage JSON-LD auto-emitted; in the /blog index and the sitemap.
G7 — Provenance real
Pass
Primary policy / market sources at public-policy resolution; no fabricated citation.

1. Draft banner
Advisory
While at the gate, the draft carried a 'DRAFT — pending human approval. Not yet published.' banner.
Fix Resolved by an actual named-human clearance (the Suite CEO under the Human Gate) before deploy — the banner was removed by the human decision, not by the model self-publishing.

The Mayor's registration call is labelled as called-for / not legislated — no over-claim on legal status.
