Approval criteria

Approval criteria must directly reflect your content design system's core guidelines. Every contribution gets evaluated against the same standards you've established for strategy, voice, tone, grammar, and style. This alignment ensures new additions strengthen rather than dilute your system's consistency.

If your strategy guide emphasizes user-first language, check that contributions prioritize clarity over cleverness. When your voice principles call for warmth and approachability, reject patterns that boxes you in formal sentence structure.. Grammar and punctuation standards apply equally: if you use Oxford commas and sentence case, every new pattern must follow. This systematic checking maintains the coherence users depend on.
