Content Ops Factory — Editorial Throughput Without the Chaos
A unified brief-to-publish lane for blogs and social: tone-locked drafts, compliance checks, and scheduling—without a spreadsheet war room.
Project overview
Problem
Editors lived in three tools, brand voice drifted between channels, and compliance review was a manual forward chain—fast writers, slow system.
Solution
We built a Content Factory lane: brief templates, AI first drafts under locked style guides, automated checklist gates for legal and SEO, then push to CMS and social schedulers.

System architecture
Orchestration service coordinates prompts per channel, stores canonical assets in object storage, and writes status to a single dashboard. Human editors approve or reject at explicit gates—nothing silent-ships.
Workflow
Brief in
Structured fields map audience, CTA, and forbidden claims before any generation runs.
Draft & tighten
Model outputs pass through tone and length validators; flagged lines surface inline.
Review & stamp
Compliance and brand approve once; the same artifact fans out to formats.
Publish
Scheduled drops with rollback copies and analytics IDs attached.
Results & impact
Campaigns stopped missing windows. Leadership saw throughput and quality on one surface—finally operable like a factory floor, not a group chat.
