HUNTER™ / Digital-media provenance

ORIGIN™

ORIGIN moves students past “does this look fake?” to the harder question: what can we prove about where this evidence came from? Students compare photographs, screenshots, video frames, crops, alterations and reposts across devices and sources.

What it teaches

Visual suspicion is not evidentiary proof.

Observe. Compare. Corroborate. Prove.

Inside the instrument

  • Source consistency assessment
  • Capture-context comparison
  • Crop, alteration and repost tracing
  • Cross-artifact common-origin assessment
  • Provenance gap documentation

Questions it will put to you

  • “What is the claimed origin, and is it consistent with the artifact?”
  • “Do these two artifacts plausibly share provenance?”
  • “What would you need to prove it, not merely suspect it?”
