Orion Confirm — Under the Hood

Why "Confirm" Exists

Our insight cadence used to be a scramble: last-minute formatting fixes, mismatched metadata, and the occasional broken embed. "Orion Confirm" is the automation layer that keeps every post on brand and on schedule.

It starts the moment a strategist commits a draft:

• Linting & MDX validation run locally with the same rules the production site expects.
• Content heuristics score readability, link hygiene, and compliance copy blocks.
• Image optimization and alt-text checks make sure creative assets are accessible before merge.

Five Stages from Draft to Production

1. Draft Sync — Writers commit MDX with frontmatter that includes hero art, CTAs, and disclaimers.
2. Automated QA — confirm check runs remark/rehype plugins, accessibility tests, and brand token enforcement.
3. Preview Deploy — Vercel preview spins up with production config so stakeholders can comment on a real build.
4. Approval Snapshot — Confirm snapshots OG images, generates social copy, and stores a signed artifact in KV.
5. Scheduled Publish — A simple confirm publish slug pushes the post live, updates the sitemap, and pings distribution hooks.

Tooling Stack

• Content layer — MDX with custom components (<Callout />, <InsightImage />, interactive metrics)
• Validation — remark, rehype, and bespoke brand plugins that enforce casing, glossary usage, and CTA length
• Artifacts — Signed JSON stored in Vercel KV so every post has an audit trail
• Distribution — Webhooks push to email, LinkedIn, and the internal market monitor once the publish flag flips

What This Means for Partners
