Frequently Asked Questions

How do you avoid false positives?
We use precision tuning, source reliability weighting, and human review on low-confidence clusters before recommending action.
Can AI identify coordinated manipulation?
Yes. Velocity spikes, bot-likelihood scores, and network patterns flag inorganic activity for separate handling and reporting.
What does a mitigation playbook include?
Audience-specific responses, approval paths, spokesperson guidance, and timing cadences—plus monitoring checkpoints to confirm recovery.
How quickly can we see risk reduction?
Teams typically see stabilization within hours for moderate issues once playbooks are executed; deeper recovery is tracked over days to weeks.
