You will understand how to interpret the Trust Score when evaluating media for licensing. The Trust Score provides a single, unified metric that represents the forensic authenticity of an asset. Rather than reviewing raw cryptographic signatures and EXIF data manually, you use the Trust Score to make rapid, secure editorial decisions.

​
Signal Aggregation

Each upload is assessed against multiple independent signals to produce the final Trust Score. The underlying model is proprietary, but it evaluates factors including:
  • Hardware attestation: Validating the cryptographic signatures generated by the capturing device.
  • Synthetic media detection: Scanning for AI-generated or deeply altered content using independent oracle networks.
  • Metadata consistency: Ensuring the timestamps, location data, and file structures align with expected patterns.

​
Flagged Content

If an asset triggers critical safety or authenticity thresholds—such as failing the synthetic media scan—its Trust Score is suppressed and the asset is flagged. Flagged content is restricted and cannot be commercially licensed through the platform. Extra Scoop employs a dual-layer verification rating system: the individual Trust Score and multi-witness London Pulse™ Clustering.

2. London Pulse™ Cluster Consensus

When multiple independent eyewitnesses record from the same area, the Spatial Corroborator Routine RPC triggers.

​
Cluster Trigger Criteria:

  • Spatial Radius: Dynamic macro-location proximity.
  • Temporal Window: High-velocity temporal grouping constraints.
  • Result: Newsrooms see a London Pulse™ badge confirming multi-source cross-corroboration.
