Tool 07 · Session 3 · Video · Failure as evidence
Video Failure Gallery Viewer
Inspect short curated examples, scrub frame by frame, label the failure mode, and write an evidence-based claim. No live video generation is needed.
Big idea: a failure is not just a mistake. It is evidence of what the system cannot keep stable.

From failure to provenance
Labeling a failure mode is close observation — not verification. A clip with no visible glitch is not thereby real, and a real clip can look strange after compression or editing. Plausibility is not provenance. So imagine this gallery example arrived with a claim attached:
Before treating it as evidence of that event, what would you actually need?
- Source & chain of custody — who recorded it, on what device, and can it be traced back unbroken to that moment?
- Corroboration — do independent angles, witnesses, or records show the same event?
- Context — does the original posting and surrounding reporting match, or was it stripped and re-captioned?
- Content credentials — does it carry signed provenance metadata (e.g. C2PA), and is that signature intact?
- The trap — a clean clip is not verified, and a glitchy clip is not debunked. Eyeballing plausibility is never enough.
