Fabricated Evidence
Invented testimonials, customer logos, avatars, metrics, integrations, awards, or claims are presented as real.
Anti-patternsBlocking
Intent
Protect user trust and prevent generated placeholders from becoming false product evidence.
Checks
- Use source-backed facts or label development examples and sample data clearly.
- For a fictional concept, label the surface once and treat inventory, prices, policies, location, stock, ratings, and delivery promises as sample content.
Warnings
- Realistic-looking placeholder evidence is easily mistaken for a verified claim.
Exceptions
- Clearly labeled fictional data is acceptable for prototypes and tests.
