Industry patterns, not customer case studies. Five canonical scenarios where streaming, publishing, social, gaming, and ad-supported media use Stratix evaluation to gate AI features. ## 1. Content recommendation and discovery **Setup:** Recommends video, audio, articles, or games to a user from a large catalog. AI scores candidate items, generates personalized rows, drafts row titles ("Because you watched X"). **Why it's hard:** * Catalog freshness — recommend a removed title and the click fails * Sensitive-content gating — child accounts, regional ratings, time-of-day rules * Filter-bubble pressure — pure relevance pushes diversity to zero * Ratings/regulatory gates per region (PEGI, ESRB, BBFC, FSK, MPAA, TV Parental Guidelines) **Stakes:** * Misrouted mature content to a kid's account is the costliest media failure mode — regulatory and reputational * DSA Article 27 requires recommender transparency for VLOPs * Loss of trust signals (skip, dislike, churn) cascade fast **Stratix evaluation criteria:** | Aspect | What you measure | Pattern | | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------------ | | Catalog freshness | Recommended item is live in region | Hard rule | | Rating/age gating | Item rating ≤ profile permission | Hard rule | | Diversity | Set diversity vs. baseline | Code scorer | | Row-title accuracy | Generated title actually describes the row | Faithfulness judge | | DSA recommender disclosure | Disclosure metadata present where required | Rule | ## 2. Content moderation **Setup:** AI classifies user-generated content (text, image, video, audio) for policy violations. Output is action recommendation: leave, label, downrank, remove, escalate. **Why it's hard:** * Context-dependent — same image is satire here, hate speech there * Coordinated inauthentic behavior detection across signals * Languages, dialects, slang, code words shift weekly * DSA / OSA / state platform laws set transparency obligations **Stakes:** * Over-moderation drives free-speech criticism and political backlash * Under-moderation drives advertiser flight and regulatory action * DSA fines up to 6% of global revenue * UK OSA carries similar magnitudes for systemic failures **Stratix evaluation criteria:** * **Per-category precision/recall** — Tracked separately for hate, violence, CSAM, terror, deception * **Group fairness** — Action-rate parity across language and demographic proxies * **CSAM detection floor** — Hard rule: 100% routing to NCMEC pipeline; zero tolerance for skipping * **Appeal-overturn rate** — Drift signal; rising overturn rate triggers eval refresh * **Coordinated-behavior cluster detection** — Code scorer ## 3. Ad relevance and brand safety **Setup:** AI matches ads to content (or content to ads). Brand-safety classifiers prevent juxtaposition mistakes. **Why it's hard:** * Brand-safety taxonomies (GARM) are subjective and evolve * News content adjacency is contentious — advertisers want to avoid hard-news but news outlets need ad revenue * Cross-modal alignment for video ads + content **Stakes:** * Advertiser flight has cost individual platforms hundreds of millions in single quarters * Brand-safety auditors (DV, IAS) report directly to advertisers * Regulatory inquiries when ads appear next to extremist content **Stratix evaluation criteria:** * **GARM-category accuracy** — Per-category precision tracked * **Adjacency rule** — Hard rule: certain advertiser exclusions cannot be violated * **Modality coverage** — Video + audio + text classifiers run together * **Audit-trail rule** — Every placement decision logs all classifiers run ## 4. News summarization and editorial AI **Setup:** AI summarizes articles for previews, generates explainer copy, suggests headlines. Editorial reviews; AI doesn't publish unsupervised. **Why it's hard:** * Hallucination in news destroys trust faster than in any other context * Bias in framing — language choices encode editorial slant * Quotation accuracy — paraphrasing a quote becomes a falsification **Stakes:** * Defamation exposure (NYT v. Sullivan standard for public figures, lower for private) * Newsroom credibility costs are existential — multiple outlets have retracted AI-generated content publicly * Editorial-process documentation is an emerging insurance/E\&O requirement **Stratix evaluation criteria:** * **Faithfulness judge** — Trained against ground-truth source articles * **Quote-fidelity rule** — Hard rule: any quoted text must match source verbatim * **Editor-review gate** — Hard rule: AI output requires editor sign-off before publish * **Bias detection** — Tone/framing scorer against newsroom standard ## 5. IP and rights management **Setup:** AI assists with rights tracking — detect protected music in user-uploaded video, flag potential trademark/copyright in generated content, surface licensing windows expiring. **Why it's hard:** * DMCA takedown obligations; ContentID-style false-positive cost * Music-publishing rights chains are complex (composition vs. recording) * Generated content can replicate IP near-verbatim under specific prompts * TDM exemptions vary by jurisdiction **Stakes:** * Infringement damages are statutory and severe; willful infringement increases the ceiling * DMCA-counter-notice flow can be abused * Generated-content IP claims are an open frontier with active litigation **Stratix evaluation criteria:** * **Match-confidence threshold** — Above-threshold matches must include exact rights-holder citation * **False-positive rate** — Tracked over time; rising rate triggers retraining * **Generated-content originality** — Code scorer comparing to known-IP corpus * **Counter-notice routing** — Hard rule: counter-notices route to human review ## See also * [Media eval patterns](/more-in-this-section-2/eval-patterns-8.md) * [Media compliance](/more-in-this-section-2/compliance-8.md)
