  "version": "0.1.0",
  "title": "Keep creation, transformation and claim layers separate",
  "summary": "One green badge can hide three different questions.",
  "kind": "concept",
  "body": "Maintain separate fields or judgments for creation provenance, transformation history and semantic claim support. A clean creation chain can coexist with heavy editing; heavy editing can be legitimate; either asset can contain true or false claims. The separation makes later corrections and risk decisions more precise.",
  "limits": [
    "Consumer interfaces may summarize these layers, but the underlying review should not collapse them if the distinction affects decisions."

  "evidence": [
    {
      "claim": "C2PA separates provenance declarations about creation and transformation from the content's semantic truth, implying that who made an asset, how it changed and whether its claims are supported are different questions.",
      "source_id": "RS-36D653DA482EBF19",
      "role": "supports",
      "note": "The practical separation is an editorial inference from the standard's explicit boundary and should be adapted to the domain.",
      "locator": "Provenance versus truth"
    },
    {
      "claim": "Current C2PA specifications use ingredients and actions to represent how prior assets contribute to a new asset and how it was transformed over time.",
      "source_id": "RS-3271B136C6377DC1",
      "role": "supports",
      "note": "A complete semantic data-lineage system may need domain-specific transformations beyond media-oriented C2PA assertions.",
      "locator": "Assertions, actions and ingredients"
    }

  "use_when": [
    "A verification note compresses asset origin, editing history and factual assessment into one label such as 'trusted.'"
  ],
  "avoid_when": [
    "Consumer interfaces may summarize these layers, but the underlying review should not collapse them if the distinction affects decisions."
  ],
  "example": "An AI-edited product image may have clear provenance and disclosed edits while a marketing claim printed on it still needs separate evidence.",
  "check": "Changing one layer—such as discovering an edit—does not automatically overwrite conclusions about the other layers.",
