Detection
The phase in which content that is likely part of, or subject to, an information manipulation campaign is identified.
Said content can not yet be qualified as disinformation: the only result of the Detection phase is to assess whether a probability threshold is reached, at which stage the content is escalated into Qualification to determine if it matches all criteria. The main aim of this distinction is to help in resource allocation: you need a higher level of expertise in Qualification than you do in Detection.
We consider that this is the phase in which software can act autonomously the most.
