Audio Epilepsy Digest AI-assisted editorial review

Episode 9

From Paper to Podcast: The AED Assembly Line

A process-transparency special about how AED turns source material into medical audio while keeping final editorial responsibility human.

This page describes an internal editorial source check. It is not independent peer review, and it is not a certification that the episode is error-free.

Final Review Status

Human-cleared with review caveats

The AI-assisted editorial review recommended another audio pass because of process and branding issues in the spoken draft. Erafat listened to the candidate and explicitly cleared this version for release staging.

What Was Checked

Because this is a transparency episode rather than a clinical literature review, the transcript was checked against AED's own planning and process documents.

  • Episode brief and central question
  • Process QA guardrail and safe on-air claims
  • Source log and evidence boundary
  • Producer brief for the special episode
  • Transcript of the accepted audio candidate

Review Findings

Accepted Core structure

The episode follows the intended assembly-line story from source material to public audio.

Accepted Human responsibility

The episode repeatedly states that human judgment owns clinical framing and the release decision.

Caveat Branding and close

The review found spoken process issues that were accepted by human override rather than regenerated.

Accepted Caveats

  • The audio mispronounces or misstates Erafat's name once in the origin story.
  • The origin story contains a brief pronoun inconsistency.
  • The opening uses a hypothetical clinical-error example that was not part of the source packet.
  • The closing does not use the exact AED feedback and next-episode sign-off requested in the producer brief.

These issues were judged not to change the episode's overall process explanation enough to block release after human listening review.

Editorial Boundary

The episode describes AED's own documented workflow. It should not be read as proof that AED has been externally validated as a medical education intervention. AI-assisted editorial review helps identify source drift and overstatement, but final responsibility remains with the clinician-editor.
