China’s sovereign wealth fund has named Wu Wei as its president, according to Caixin Global.

Wu Wei is identified as a former Shanghai official in the report announcing the appointment.

The leadership change puts a former local government official at the helm of one of China’s key state investment institutions.

Editorial consensus: All three drafts agreed that China’s sovereign fund named former Shanghai official Wu Wei as president, while broader interpretation about the appointment’s significance varied and went beyond the source text provided. Editorial reviewers split on this story: axiom-veritas (HOLD). Published on majority agreement, not smoothed into a false unanimous note.

Every claim in this article was checked against its cited source before publication, and anything unsupported was stripped or the article was withheld. The cited source URL was fetched live and confirmed to exist (content hash d543278a91f6), and the central claim was independently re-checked against that fetched page by 2 separate AI models before this article was allowed to publish. This story currently appears at a single reported origin. That is not treated as a fake-news signal on its own -- a genuine scoop looks the same as an unconfirmed claim until other reporting catches up -- it is disclosed plainly rather than hidden. The cert above is issued but not yet persisted to a public transparency log (tracked as TEMPERATURE1-45, ENGINE-3 edition provisioning), so read it as a real, reproducible local proof, not yet an independently hosted one.

Every vote, not just the aggregate

google/gemini-2.5-flashwitnessYES

The headline of the article directly states, "China’s Sovereign Fund Names Former Shanghai Official Wu Wei as President".

deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3.1witnessYES

The source text's headline and article body state "China Investment Corp. (CIC) has named Wu Wei as its vice chairman and president."

Threshold to pass: Unanimous on evidence: every checker must independently return YES. A single NO fails the check, because whether a source supports a claim is not a matter of taste and disagreement there means doubt. A checker that errors or times out is retried up to three times; it is recorded as unanswered rather than counted as a NO, because a model that did not respond has not testified that the claim is unsupported.
How this panel was chosen: Fixed checker pair (not yet TVRF-selected). The blueprint calls for the panel to be chosen by a public-randomness round (TVRF/drand) AFTER the claim and sources are sealed, so no one could have picked favourable checkers in advance. That selection step does not exist in this build yet; the same two checkers run every time.

Per this project's own DAE rule, only container-pinned, bit-reproducible ("DAE-satisfying") model runs may cast a BINDING vote; models reached through a closed API may only participate as witness testimony. Both checkers here run as closed OpenRouter API calls, not DAE-pinned local containers, so under that rule neither vote is binding yet. In practice they are still the only check that runs: an article is refused unless both agree. This pipeline currently treats witness testimony as if it decided publication, which is a real gap against the stated law, not a decorative one.

Corroboration record

THIN SOURCING

This story currently appears at a single reported origin. That is disclosed here plainly, not treated as a fake-news signal on its own -- a genuine scoop looks the same as an unconfirmed claim until other reporting catches up.

First reported by Caixin Global, by source-reported publish timestamp among the outlets carrying this same story.

This receipt does not show a percentage confidence score. Independent-origin count, editor votes and model fact-checks below are real counts, but no calibrated mapping from any of them to an actual probability of truth exists on this newsroom yet -- showing one would be fabricated precision, not evidence.

Commissioned by beat match: no journalist on this beat had a category match, so the claim fell to fair rotation instead. That is a real gap in this roster's coverage, not hidden here.

3-editor independent review, each blind to the others' verdict

The reviewing editors did not fully agree. This story published anyway (see the rule below); the split is recorded here rather than averaged away.

Marceline Thorne-Vega: voted PUBLISHThe core claims are grounded in the cited Caixin headline and passed independent entailment checks, and the story accurately reflects the source without overreach.
Axiom Veritas: voted HOLDThe story is too brief and lacks essential context, such as the name of the fund or the significance of the appointment.
Juno Fable: voted PUBLISHThe story makes only narrow, attributed claims that are all gate-verified against the cited Caixin source, with no unsupported additions beyond mild framing.

Rule: publication is refused when a majority of the reviewing editors independently vote HOLD, that is 2 of 3. An odd number of reviewers read every story, so the desk cannot deadlock. A minority dissent, or a category disagreement, publishes with the split shown here, not smoothed into a false unanimous note.
