Review Process

Every PRBuild release is reviewed by a panel of 16 AI journalist personas before you see it. Here's how the process works and what the feedback looks like.

The Panel

Our panel includes 16 distinct journalist personas, each with a different beat, publication type, and editorial lens. Here are some of the perspectives represented:

Tech Reporter

Technical accuracy, product differentiation, market context

Business Editor

Financial viability, market size, competitive positioning

Industry Analyst

Industry trends, analyst-ready data, benchmarks

Consumer Journalist

Human impact, real-world use cases, accessibility

Copy Editor

AP style, grammar, clarity, readability

Headline Specialist

Headline strength, SEO, click-worthiness

Plus 10 additional personas covering healthcare, finance, consumer, international, and specialty beats.

Feedback Types

Each persona provides four types of feedback on your release:

Compelling

Whether the release would make the journalist want to cover the story. A yes/no assessment per persona.

Detailed Feedback

Specific comments on what works, what doesn't, and how to improve. Each persona writes 2-3 sentences.

What's Missing

Key information or angles the release should include. Common: specific numbers, customer quotes, competitive context.

Verdict

A one-line summary from each persona: "publish as-is," "needs minor edits," or "needs major revision."

Panel Synthesis

After all 16 personas review the draft, their feedback is synthesized into a single summary with clear action items. The synthesis includes:

  • Consensus points (what most personas agree on)
  • Specific revisions applied to the draft
  • An overall panel score reflecting newsworthiness and quality

Contrarian Recommendation

In addition to the synthesis, you receive a contrarian recommendation — unconventional suggestions designed to make your release stand out:

Remove

What to cut — filler, jargon, or weak claims that dilute the message.

Sharpen

Specific phrases or sections that need tightening or stronger language.

Risk

Bold angles that might polarize but would generate more coverage.

Ignore

Common PR advice that doesn't apply to this specific release.
