Research holds veto over any external claim the evidence does not support

The veto is on the claim, not the campaign, and it is exercised at brief stage.

ReportedStated by a counterparty or agent, not independently checked.

The record

Research owns what the company knows, which only means anything if it can say no. The veto covers claims leaving the company and nothing else — Research does not approve creative, timing or spend. Four claims were blocked in July and all four were reworked rather than dropped, which is the outcome the standard is designed for.
