What goes wrong
Marketing copy often outruns evidence. Owners need blocked claims to stay out of governed outputs until approved with a source.
Claims Governance
Claims Governance
Claims Governance uses source-backed content metadata, allowed actions, blocked claims, and versioned configuration so public statements stay under owner control — never inventing facts.
Approve or block public claims with source-backed metadata — governance, not a guarantee that every statement is legally certified.

Allowed action recorded
What you can see now
Owners in regulated or trust-sensitive categories who must approve what the site says before AI systems repeat it.
You set allowed actions, block unverified claims, and keep versioned configuration so assistants repeat only what you approved.
How it works
Claims Governance in practice
-
Inventory
Collect claims detected or declared on assessed pages.
-
Source
Attach source URLs or notes — blanks where missing.
-
Block
Block claims without backing from exports and previews.
-
Approve
Owner approves claims before they appear in governed outputs.
-
Version
Track configuration versions where storage is implemented.
Evidence inputs
What it reads
- Declared claims with source metadata
- Blocked or unverified claim flags
- Versioned claims configuration
- Evidence snippets tied to each claim where stored
Example output
Sample based on the documented methodology
Illustrative: Claim “Free returns within 30 days” — approved, source: returns policy URL
Illustrative: Blocked “#1 rated in category” — no source on file
Blocked claims stay out of governed WordPress outputs until explicitly approved
Boundaries
Control, limits, and availability
- Availability
- WordPress governance; Shopify catalog/policy findings only
- Read/write behaviour
- WordPress: approve, block, or edit claims metadata with preview on supported paths. Shopify: read-only catalog/policy findings — edits in Shopify Admin.
- Approval boundary
- Blocked claims do not appear in governed outputs until explicitly approved with source backing.
What we do not claim
- Governance is not legal review or automatic fact-checking of third-party sources.
- Shopify has catalog/policy finding checks only — not a WordPress-style claims registry.
- Does not invent sources or metrics to unblock a claim.
- Shopify remains read-only for Agentic Bridge writes.
Security & privacy
- Claim sources are owner-provided URLs or internal notes — not fabricated citations.
- Governance metadata stays within your property boundary.

Common questions
Questions about Claims Governance
Does Agentic Bridge verify my sources?+
It stores owner-provided sources and flags missing backing — it does not certify third-party pages.
Can blocked claims still appear on my live site?+
Yes. Governance controls Agentic Bridge outputs and supported publish paths — not your entire CMS without a fix.
