Publishing standard 01

Automation can move fast.
Trust should move carefully.

Watchline is designed to automate collection, not credibility. Our publishing system treats Fubo as authoritative for Fubo’s own listing, separates secondary context, and records what changed between feed checks.

The rule

If the available facts cannot support a genuinely useful page, we do not ask a model to fill the gaps.

01

Fubo authority

Fubo Partner Hub is the primary source for what Fubo lists: event, start time, network, league, plan route and regional flag.

02

Claim separation

Feed data, Forge-written copy and secondary context are stored as separate layers. The model cannot turn an inference into a fact.

03

Limited index cohort

Raw feed pages remain noindex. At most four new pages per UTC day and forty active pages can enter the search cohort after the source, identity, enrichment, quality and duplication gates pass.

04

Disclosure

Affiliate calls to action use clear language and sponsored link attributes. Commercial relationships never alter schedule facts.

05

Change tracking

A first missing feed row is provisional. A second check can mark the listing removed; only a high-confidence same-event match is labeled as a possible move.

06

Secondary context

Venue, status and recent entries are labeled separately and shown only after deterministic team, sport and date matching.

1Ingest

Fetch schedule facts and retain source timestamps.

2Enrich

Add licensed statistics or human reporting — never invented context.

3Draft

Forge selects a varied editorial shape, then generates structured copy with evidence gaps.

4Gate

Publish on-site; index only when quality checks pass.

Expired and changed events

Ended events remain accessible but leave Search.

When the scheduled end time passes, the page receives a crawlable noindex directive, leaves the sitemap and loses its Watch on Fubo action. The URL can remain available for users and feed-history links while search engines process the noindex directive.

If an upcoming row disappears, the page first enters a recheck state. After a second missing snapshot it is labeled “listing removed” and kept out of search. That label does not mean the underlying event was canceled. A cancellation or postponement claim needs an explicit event source.

Event pages are not blocked in robots.txt because crawlers must be able to see noindex. Full-article similarity above 38%, quality below 88, weak event identity, insufficient enrichment or a full daily/active cohort keeps a new page out of Search.
