Built for the 2026 cycle
Raina is in active GTM motion with campaigns, party committees, and aligned independent expenditure groups for the 2026 midterm cycle. The platform is the same real-time verification engine deployed with election authorities and national newsrooms, adapted for the speed and signal pattern of a live race.
Why it matters
- Synthetic media of candidates and election officials is now a routine cycle threat
- Rapid response wins or loses on minutes, not hours. Comms teams need verified evidence on demand.
- Earned media and ad partners increasingly require provenance signals on candidate-produced content
What Raina does
Deepfake and synthetic media detection
Rapid detection of synthetic audio, video, and image targeting candidates, surrogates, and senior staff during the cycle
C2PA provenance verification
Validate Content Credentials and provenance manifests on candidate-produced content before release
Signed rapid-response reports
Cryptographically signed verification reports (Ed25519) for media kit, press release, and rapid response use
Race-tuned monitoring
Monitoring infrastructure tuned for race-specific signal. Proven in active 2026-cycle work in Nevada and Arizona.
Example workflows
Inbound suspect content
Comms or rapid-response staff submit suspected synthetic content via API, paste, upload, or URL
Multi-layer verification
Synthetic media detection, source corroboration, and C2PA provenance run in parallel
Signed evidence package
Comms team receives a signed verification report formatted for rapid public response and press distribution
Scope: Raina provides content verification and signed rapid-response reports. We are not an FEC compliance tool, do not integrate directly with ad-buying platforms, and do not perform donor verification. Those are different product domains.
