Disclosures
Disclosures provide the context around the main claims in the document. They explain how AI assistance, review, or process details should be understood without turning every detail into a standalone claim.
They are often where the issuer explains the role automation played, what kind of review occurred, or what circumstances shaped the final work.
How disclosures differ from claims
Claims are the core statements the issuer is affirming. Disclosures are the supporting context that helps a reader interpret those claims accurately.
A disclosure should clarify a claim, narrow it, or explain its basis. It should not quietly introduce a new material assertion that ought to appear as a claim instead.
What belongs in a disclosure
- How AI systems were used in a limited or supporting role.
- Whether a human reviewed, edited, selected, or approved the result.
- How the issuer wants the claims to be read in context.
- Short clarifying notes that would otherwise be lost in a simplified statement.
What does not belong in a disclosure
- Broad assertions that should be expressed as claims.
- Legal conclusions the document is not designed to provide.
- Unrelated background material that does not help the reader interpret the declaration.
- Hidden caveats that undercut a claim without stating the limitation clearly.
How readers use disclosures
Reviewers often read disclosures immediately after the claims because they want to understand what the issuer actually means in practice.
Good disclosures make the document easier to trust because they show where the issuer is being careful, specific, and transparent.
