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 verification engine is purpose-built for the speed and signal pattern of a live race: cryptographically signed rapid-response reports, FEC corroboration on declared candidates, C2PA provenance on candidate-produced content, and a curated 2026-cycle race registry.
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 context detection
Submitted content is matched against a curated 2026-cycle race registry so each verification carries explicit race context.
FEC corroboration
Detected candidate names are looked up against the FEC OpenAPI v1. Matched candidate IDs and committee records surface in the verification panel.
Rapid-response press kit
Every campaigns-vertical scan produces a copy/paste-ready press kit summary: verification grade, candidate, active race, FEC corroboration status, and election-mechanics flag, formatted for direct use by comms staff.
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.
