If your team uses Claude to research a product-video idea, the next step is a source check for the proposed script. The product owner must be able to identify which facts are approved and which remain uncertain.

Review one claim at a time

Write the proposed line beside its source and the exact product variant. Open the page and check whether it supports the same material, use and limitation described in the line.

A source about another size or an earlier model may not apply. Save the relevant specification with the brief instead of asking the producer to reconstruct the evidence from a chat later.

An illustrative material explanation

Suppose an answer describes a bag as suitable for wet weather. Before planning a rain scene, ask which material property is documented and under what conditions.

If only the fabric composition is confirmed, a close-up can show that material without inventing a waterproof demonstration. Write the narrower approved explanation and specify the actual bag and surface reference.

Keep imagery and speech aligned

A synthetic presenter should explain approved facts without claiming to have personally tested the bag. Review the words alongside the scene, because rain, splashes or dry contents can imply more than the script says.

Use original footage where the intended function needs direct demonstration. If there is no evidence for the claim, remove that scene rather than making the unsupported effect subtler.

Approve an identifiable version

Have the product owner review the final copy, image and limitations. Keep the accepted file, references and approved wording together so a later edit does not restore an earlier unsupported statement.

The useful outcome is a reviewable product brief and accurate finished material. A citation in Claude is research context, not evidence of product performance or advertising results.
