# 6. Publishing and Content

**Purpose.** Publishing on Nexus Platforms is not “social posting.” It is how leaders share signals, develop drafts, coordinate work, and release reusable outputs—while staying platform-safe and high-signal.

### 6.1 What to Publish Where

Use this routing table. If you choose the right lane, your content becomes searchable and reusable.

#### A) Status update / Post (short, fast)

**Use when:** you have a quick signal, progress note, short ask, or announcement.\
**Best home:** inside the relevant Group (so it stays with the work).\
Start here: <https://therisk.global/groups/>

**Do not use for:** complex proposals, dense documentation, or questions that need structured answers.

#### B) Article / Brief (long-form)

**Use when:** you have a structured insight, proposal, field note, draft guidance, or summary people will reference later.\
**Best home:** publish as an article/brief (where enabled), then link it into the relevant group thread for review.

If you want it to become reusable guidance later, route it into:

* **Knowledge Base:** <https://therisk.global/kb/>\
  or
* **Journals (curated releases):** <https://therisk.global/journals/>

#### C) Q\&A (knowledge hub)

**Use when:** the content is a “how do I…?” question, troubleshooting, process clarification, or repeatable guidance.\
Browse: <https://therisk.global/questions/>\
Ask: <https://therisk.global/questions/ask/>

**Rule:** if the answer will help others later, it belongs in Q\&A.

#### D) Group thread (work room collaboration)

**Use when:** you need back-and-forth collaboration, multiple reviewers, tasking, or accountability.\
Groups: <https://therisk.global/groups/>

#### E) Events (scheduled work)

**Use when:** it requires attendance, an agenda, recordings/resources, or follow-up actions.\
Events: <https://therisk.global/events/>

### 6.2 Publishing a Status Update (fast signals, progress notes)

Status updates are the fastest way to keep teams aligned—if they are scoped and actionable.

#### 6.2.1 Where to post a status update

* Post inside the relevant group where the work lives: <https://therisk.global/groups/>
* If it is a reusable operational question, use Q\&A instead: <https://therisk.global/questions/>

#### 6.2.2 Best formats (copy/paste templates)

**A) Signal (early warning / observation)**

* Context (1 line):
* Signal (what you observed):
* Why it matters (impact):
* Confidence level (low / med / high):
* Ask (what you want from readers):
* Link(s):

**B) Progress note**

* What changed:
* What’s done:
* What’s blocked:
* What’s next:
* Who can help:
* Deadline (if any):

**C) Request**

* Request in one sentence:
* Why now:
* What “good” looks like:
* Needed by (date/time):
* Link(s) / attachments:

#### 6.2.3 Status update rules (keep it high-signal)

* One topic per post.
* Always include an ask or a next action.
* If your update belongs to an existing thread, reply there (avoid fragmentation).
* Do not cross-post full content across multiple rooms; post once and link elsewhere.

***

### 6.3 Publishing an Article/Brief (format, structure, tagging, attachments)

Articles/briefs are how you create durable, reusable content.

#### 6.3.1 When to publish an article instead of a post

Publish an article/brief if:

* it’s longer than \~300–500 words
* it includes a method, framework, checklist, proposal, or field note
* you want review from multiple people over time
* it may become a KB page or Journal release later

#### 6.3.2 Recommended structure (operator-grade)

Use this structure to keep it readable:

* Title (clear, specific; not a slogan)
* One-paragraph executive summary (what it is + why it matters)
* Scope (what’s in / out)
* Problem / context (what prompted this)
* Proposed content (method, insight, draft standard, checklist)
* Assumptions and limitations (what could be wrong)
* What you want from readers (review / collaborators / decision)
* Next steps (what happens after feedback)
* Links / attachments (canonical links preferred)

#### 6.3.3 Tagging guidance (so it stays searchable)

Use:

* 1 domain tag
* 1–3 function tags
* 0–2 sector tags (only if relevant)

Align with Q\&A taxonomy so language stays consistent:

* Tags: <https://therisk.global/questions/tags/>
* Categories: <https://therisk.global/questions/categories/>

#### 6.3.4 Attachments and links (best practice)

Prefer linking to canonical sources (KB/Journals/Docs) rather than uploading duplicates.

If uploading, include:

* filename convention: `Title_vX.Y_YYYY-MM-DD`
* a one-line description of what it is
* the ask (“please review section 3 by Friday”)

***

### 6.4 Editing, Updating, and Versioning Content (how to correct cleanly)

Corrections should increase trust, not create confusion.

#### 6.4.1 The “clean correction” rule

If you change meaning, assumptions, or conclusions:

* do not silently overwrite without a note
* add a short Update Note at the top

Use this format:\
**Update (YYYY-MM-DD):** what changed + why

#### 6.4.2 Versioning recommended practice

* Use explicit versions for drafts: v0.1, v0.2, v1.0
* When you publish a “stable” version, label it v1.0 and freeze the core content
* Subsequent changes become v1.1, v1.2 with clear update notes

#### 6.4.3 When to move content to KB/Journals

Move content when:

* it answers a repeated question → **KB:** <https://therisk.global/kb/>
* it is a curated release or canonical publication → **Journals:** <https://therisk.global/journals/>

***

### 6.5 Formatting & Media (headings, embeds, files, links; style norms)

#### 6.5.1 Formatting norms (readable, professional)

* Use short paragraphs (2–4 lines)
* Use headings every 150–250 words
* Use bullet lists for actions, requirements, and checklists
* Avoid long blocks of text

#### 6.5.2 Platform-safe media practices

* Do not embed sensitive internal dashboards or credentials
* Use screenshots only when necessary, and redact sensitive data
* Prefer links to public-safe resources

#### 6.5.3 Link discipline (avoid link rot)

* Always include the canonical link to the group thread where discussion happens
* If you cross-reference, include the link at the top and bottom of your post

***

### 6.6 Visibility Controls for Content (public-safe, member-only, group-only)

Visibility protects members and prevents accidental disclosure.

#### 6.6.1 Public-safe (default safe posture)

Use for:

* general insights, patterns, non-sensitive summaries
* content that can be shared without harm

#### 6.6.2 Member-only

Use for:

* working drafts, internal collaboration threads
* scoped operational content appropriate for members

#### 6.6.3 Group-only / restricted rooms

Use for:

* sensitive work programs, governed rooms, integrity-related coordination

If you’re unsure, apply the “two-step” method:

1. publish a public-safe summary
2. route detailed content into the appropriate group room

If you need help routing:\
<https://therisk.global/questions/ask/>

***

### 6.7 Collaboration Patterns (co-authoring, review requests, linking threads)

#### 6.7.1 The “draft → review → release” pattern (recommended)

1. Publish draft (article/brief or doc)
2. Post a review request in the relevant group
3. Collect feedback in one canonical thread
4. Publish revised version with an update note
5. Promote to KB/Journals if it becomes reusable

* Groups: <https://therisk.global/groups/>
* Journals: <https://therisk.global/journals/>
* KB: <https://therisk.global/kb/>

#### 6.7.2 How to request review (template)

* What this is:
* What kind of review you need:
* What sections to focus on:
* Deadline:
* How to respond (comment here / annotate / reply in thread):

#### 6.7.3 Linking threads correctly

* Always keep one canonical discussion thread in a group.
* In other rooms, post a short pointer with the canonical link.

***

### 6.8 Content Quality Checklist (clarity, scope, claims hygiene, calls-to-action)

Before publishing, check:

**Clarity**

* Can a reader summarize your point in one sentence?

**Scope**

* Did you say what’s in/out?

**Claims hygiene**

* Did you separate facts, assumptions, and opinions?
* Did you avoid implying endorsement or authority?

**Actionability**

* Did you include a clear ask or next step?

**Routing**

* Is this in the correct lane (Q\&A vs Group vs Article vs Event)?

**Safety**

* Is it public-safe for the room’s visibility?

If uncertain, route as a question first:\
<https://therisk.global/questions/ask/>

***

### 6.9 Requesting Promotion/Featuring (how to elevate content for wider reach)

Promotion is for content that is reusable and verified—not for boosting volume.

#### 6.9.1 What is eligible for promotion

* high-quality briefs or templates that solve repeated problems
* outputs with clear scope and safe visibility
* content that has been reviewed in a group thread
* artifacts suitable for KB/Journals/Campaigns

#### 6.9.2 Where promoted content goes

* Knowledge Base (how-to, repeatable guidance): <https://therisk.global/kb/>
* Journals (curated releases): <https://therisk.global/journals/>
* Campaigns (calls for input, time-bound initiatives): <https://therisk.global/campaigns/>

#### 6.9.3 How to request promotion (clean process)

1. Ensure there is a canonical group thread showing review history.
2. Prepare a one-paragraph “promotion note”:
   * what it is
   * why it matters
   * who it helps
   * what action you want from readers
3. Post the request in the appropriate group room (or follow the KB process if one exists).
4. If you are unsure where to request promotion, ask in Q\&A:\
   <https://therisk.global/questions/ask/>

***

### 6.10 Publishing Quickstart (10 minutes)

1. Choose the lane:
   * Q\&A: <https://therisk.global/questions/>
   * Groups: <https://therisk.global/groups/>
   * Events: <https://therisk.global/events/>
2. Use the correct template (status / review request / brief structure).
3. Add clean tags aligned to Q\&A taxonomy:\
   <https://therisk.global/questions/tags/>
4. Post once, keep one canonical thread, link everywhere else.
