additional property: Narrative Frame
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Geopolitical energy development story masquerading as AI infrastructure news.
additional property: Missing Context
  type: PropertyValue
  value: That this is a fossil fuel drilling announcement with no AI component; That the Financial Times original context is energy markets, not AI policy or engineering
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: No credibility signals combine — instead, the absence of domain-specific signals (no AI terms, no tech actors, no computational methods) is masked by feed placement alone. The framing makes the story feel topically legitimate solely through mispositioning, creating tension between the platform’s stated vertical focus and the actual content.
