Frequently Asked Questions
Why 40–60 sources and why within 72 hours?
The volume creates corroboration density that exceeds the threshold required for high AI citation confidence. The 72-hour window concentrates signals so they appear as a coherent corroboration event in AI training data rather than dispersed background noise.
How is a Corroboration Campaign different from a PR campaign?
A PR campaign targets human audience awareness. A Corroboration Campaign targets AI training data verification infrastructure — the sources, formats, and attribution signals that AI systems use to confirm entity claims, not the human reach or engagement of the coverage.
Can you run a Corroboration Campaign without a PR agency?
Yes, but the operational execution — coordinating 40–60 independent source publications within 72 hours — requires systematic press wire distribution, authority database outreach, and structured publication targeting that resembles PR infrastructure even if not formally labelled as such.
