Content models

Content models describe the durable parts of an article: its identity, body, summary, evidence, and editorial state. These guides follow that record from the initial design through CMS handoffs. Read for the boundaries between shared editorial fields and destination-specific values. A mapping that is explicit today makes tomorrow’s migrations and corrections easier to reason about.
