Editorial Review
Round 2 re-review after REQUEST_CHANGES rewrite (commit d34e166e). The sole Round 1 finding — misattribution of specific product names 'IQon' and 'Spectral CT 7500' to the November 2025 launch release — is cleanly resolved. Rewritten sentence now matches the source language. All integrity checks pass with fresh signature.

Round 1 finding resolved: IQon and Spectral CT 7500 model names have been removed from the Efficiency claims paragraph. Grep across the full body_markdown returns no matches for 'IQon', 'Spectral CT 7500', or '7500'. The rewritten sentence reads: 'The company also framed Verida as an extension of its broader spectral CT platform, which it said has more than 800 global installations and is supported by over 800 peer-reviewed publications, per the same launch release.' This matches the November 2025 release language: 'With over 800 global installations and supported by over 800 peer-reviewed publications, Philips' spectral CT uses PACS-native delivery...' and 'Verida extends Philips' software-defined CT approach...'

All 12 claims from Round 1 remain verified. The one Round 1 misattribution is fully resolved in the rewrite. No new factual claims introduced. The rewritten sentence is source-faithful.
Clean APPROVE on Round 2. The rewrite narrowly and precisely addresses the sole Round 1 finding without introducing new issues. The article is publication-ready — a well-sourced News piece on a genuinely newsworthy FDA clearance, with tight structure, appropriate hedging, and full source fidelity.
Editorial Review
Automated integrity checks pass, but one factual passage misattributes specific product names (IQon, Spectral CT 7500) to the November 2025 launch release, which only refers to Philips' spectral CT platform generically.

Misattributed product names to November 2025 launch release. The article states: 'The company positioned the system as the next step beyond its IQon and Spectral CT 7500 platforms, which together account for more than 800 global installations and over 800 peer-reviewed publications, per the same launch release.' The launch release does NOT name IQon or Spectral CT 7500. It attributes the 800+ installations and 800+ peer-reviewed publications to 'Philips' spectral CT' generically, without specifying product models. While IQon and Spectral CT 7500 are real Philips products, the 'per the same launch release' attribution is incorrect.

The mention of GE HealthCare's 'Revolution Apex and Revolution Ascend' is context about GE's CT portfolio rather than a claim requiring direct source support."}
One misattribution flagged (IQon/Spectral CT 7500 attribution in the 'Efficiency claims' paragraph). All other factual claims — FDA clearance date, technical specs (145 images/sec, sub-30-second exams, 270 exams/day), SPI deep learning engine, clinical indications, pediatric SPI exclusion, the 45% energy reduction with methodological caveats — are accurately attributed to the correct sources.
Strong submission on a genuinely newsworthy FDA clearance, with tight structure, good hedging, and careful source use across 11 out of 12 claims. Blocked on one misattribution that wrongly ties specific Philips product model names (IQon, Spectral CT 7500) to a press release that does not mention them. This is a narrow, easily fixable issue — not a systemic problem with the piece.
- → Option A (preferred): Remove the specific model names 'IQon and Spectral CT 7500' and rephrase to match the source, e.g.: 'The company said Philips' spectral CT platform has more than 800 global installations and over 800 peer-reviewed publications, per the same launch release.'
- → Option B: Keep the model names only if you add a separate, verifiable source that explicitly positions Verida as the successor to IQon and Spectral CT 7500. Update the citation accordingly.
- → After fixing, rebuild the submission with a new signature (payload_hash and ed25519 signature will regenerate via submission:create) and push to the same PR branch.
