The Quality Control (QC) Teams
The Quality Control team is responsible to ensure every analysis is up to the high standards Smogon expects for its content. These analyses are being viewed by thousands of individuals across the world, so a high standard of quality is necessary.

If the QC team does not think your analysis is up to on-site standards, they have the right to reassign or reject it. Make sure you familiarize yourself with C&C standards if you wish to prevent this from being the case. If you have any questions, reach out to the active members of the QC team first, same with asking for checks!

Analysis Format

A guide to formatting the analyses is here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/gen-8-analysis-formatting-guide.3656647/

An example of the new, full analysis format:

[SET]
Butterfree @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Name: Quiver Dance (Flying)
Ability: Compound Eyes
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Sleep Powder
- Hurricane
- Bug Buzz

[SET COMMENTS]
This is a paragraph describing how Butterfree is used on Flying teams. In it, I am talking about the specific role it plays and what it does for the team. If there are any moves like Sleep Powder that are essential to how Butterfree works, I include some details about it. Less important moves like Bug Buzz can be ignored. If the Speed EVs are relevant, then we can talk about it very briefly; otherwise, we can skip it!

It's also important to talk about what Pokemon work well with Butterfree, so I'm starting a new paragraph here. I'm mentioning some key teammates that support Butterfree or take on its weaknesses like Xatu. I'm also talking about teammates that appreciate Butterfree's help, like every Pokemon because Butterfree is free wins.

We’ve decided to become more transparent with people that are looking to eventually join the official QC team through AM checking. People who have been AM checking consistently will now have the option to join the official QC channel on Discord to communicate with QC members and improve at a quicker rate by both reviewing AMQC checks constantly and observing so that they can eventually improve enough to become official QC. This will hopefully bring more people into the QC checking aspect of C&C, especially C&C in general being busy this generation due to the DLCs.

Monotype Reservations are reopening soon; returning to full analyses! Here's some information you need to know before the reservation thread goes up (WRITERS PLEASE READ):

- Please re-read the Analysis Format under this thread's OP to understand the format in which we are approaching full analyses for (hopefully), the duration of this generation.
- Instead of 2 QC checks and 1 GP check with mini-analyses, we will be returning to a 3 QC checks + 2 GP checks format given the additional information, effective immediately. Analyses that have been paused in QC/WIP must adhere to the new format, however writers may keep any existing QC checks, if any. Analyses that have been waiting in GP may be bypassed of this and receive only the one GP check, for extra information to be CMS'ed at a later date.
- Please make sure to bullet point each sentence in your analysis until you receive your second QC approval check, afterwards you may re-organize them into paragraph form.
- To avoid any backlog in returning, only analyses with assigned priorities on the reservation sheet may be reserved.
- Members without a badge may reserve up to two analyses at a time, only if one has received a second QC check; Badgeholders may reserve up to three.
- You will notice on the new reservation thread later, that there are checkmarks beside each Pokemon name. That information is simply to discern which Pokemon have an analysis on site for any specific type, and is nearly finished at the time of this writing, which is for the information mentioned below.

As for existing analyses, Decem and I have decided that instead of asking our writers to completely revamp a significant analysis with multiple sets, we will put up for reservation the extra information that has to be added to them. (ex: the overview, OO, and C&C for Choice Scarf Dragapult [Ghost]). The manner of this will be implemented is still up for discussion between the QC team, and this thread will be updated with that information as soon as we reach a conclusion.
