Generated Media QA

Treat QA as a release decision, not a vibe check. Judge the deliverable against the approved brief, platform specifications, legal/safety constraints, and the audience context. Record enough evidence that another agent or producer can reproduce the decision.

Keep three evidence lanes separate

Documented facts are requirements from the brief, platform specs, legal/policy guidance, delivery standards, accessibility standards, or provider documentation. Cite them or name the source and verification date.

Empirical observations are what you directly measured or inspected in the asset: frame size, duration, loudness, sync offset, OCR output, transcript mismatch, visual artifact, metadata, or a timestamped defect.

Production heuristics are professional judgments used when no explicit spec exists: whether a hand artifact is audience-visible, whether a product packshot feels trustworthy, whether an accent is intelligible for the target market, whether a social caption is too fast for mobile. Label these as heuristics and avoid pretending they are universal standards.

Intake before review

Do not start with random artifact hunting. Build the acceptance frame first.
