This is the working record behind the five gaps in communications and PR. Each proposal can be proved at small scale first, with an evidence class, a build split and a validation test.
Each gap carries the three fields from the brief, the six-condition test, the evidence class, the build split and a validation test.
A synthetic statement can appear anywhere in the organisation’s voice, with no account to check.
Verification badges confirm accounts, and a clip or statement can carry none.
A verification badge for statements: a signed record of who approved each version.
A signature shows origin where the drafting tool signs.
The C2PA specification is open and checkable.
The signature can travel with the statement.
Several companies now read common provenance marks.
EU duties bind providers from August 2026.
EU enforcement applies, with a grace period to 2 December 2026 for certain duties.
Sign press releases and executive statements for one organisation and have recipients verify them.
Display the signature where audiences read, which depends on platforms.
Sign 20 statements and ask ten journalists to verify them. If at least 80 percent verify without help, the badge justifies the build.
Twenty tailored versions of a statement can quietly differ, and a reader who compares two may find the organisation saying different things.
Distribution standards publish one statement to many channels, and cannot compare versions.
A distribution standard with a concordance record that compares claims across versions.
A comparison step can list claim differences.
No shared definition of a claim exists.
The record can travel with the versions.
Tools do not share a format.
Nothing marks which version is authoritative.
No body checks it.
A comparison step on versions of one statement, with a reviewer checking the differences.
A concordance record linked to legal and investor relations approvals.
Take ten past multi-audience statements. If a reviewer finds at least 80 percent of the differences the check finds, the record justifies the build.
Synthetic stakeholders run quicker and with less variation than real people, which can leave a team feeling better prepared than it is.
Impression metrics count audiences as measured, and treat every response as real.
An impression metric that labels each rehearsal response as observed or synthetic.
A label can be attached to each response.
A small observed panel is the reference.
Labels do not travel between tools.
No common labelling format exists.
The team sets the rule.
No body checks it.
A register for one crisis exercise that labels each response and compares synthetic spread with a small observed panel.
A grade for synthetic and observed variation across exercises.
Compare synthetic and observed responses on one scenario. If the synthetic set shows less than half the variation of the observed set, the register justifies the build.
A convincing statement in the organisation’s name can appear faster than the organisation can answer.
Dispute resolution gives a route to challenge a post, at the speed of a ticket.
A dispute resolution route with a pre-agreed evidence pack for impersonation.
An evidence pack can list what to collect.
No shared standard says what counts as evidence.
The pack can go to several platforms.
Platforms do not share a format.
Nothing marks an impersonation consistently.
Platform processes provide some enforcement.
A response record tested in one tabletop exercise, with a named lead, evidence list and notification map.
An agreed evidence format accepted by platforms and insurers.
Run two tabletop exercises. If the team assembles the evidence pack in under two hours both times, the route justifies the build.
Rules now ask organisations to disclose synthetic content in defined cases, and many have no standard way to do it.
Marketplace policy states what platforms require, channel by channel.
A marketplace policy with a portable disclosure notice that travels across channels.
A notice can record generation status.
The text of Article 50 is the reference.
A notice can travel with the content.
A shared notice could be read by several channels.
EU scope applies from August 2026.
EU enforcement applies, with a grace period to 2 December 2026 for certain duties.
A notice applied to all synthetic images and audio for one organisation.
A notice recognised across jurisdictions and platforms.
Audit 200 published items. If more than 10 percent of synthetic items lack a correct notice, the policy justifies the build.
