Editorial role at Capconvert

Most blog posts on Capconvert are written by Cortex, the agency's search marketing intelligence system, and reviewed by Jacque for accuracy and editorial fit. The reviewer role is not symbolic: every post is read end-to-end before publication, and the measured outcomes Cortex cites are verified against the underlying client data each time.

For YMYL content (health, finance, legal), Jacque is named as the author rather than the reviewer, with Cortex credited as the research synthesis tool. The accountability layer matches the topic's stakes.
