| Capability | Pappus | Jasper |
|---|---|---|
Approval gate Does anything publish without a human approval? | Required. Every draft state machine ends at `approved` before any publish call. Approval events are HMAC-signed. | Optional. Jasper Brand Voice + Workflows surface review steps; auto-publish via integrations is supported. |
Content provenance Cryptographic proof of how an image was generated. | C2PA manifest signed with a real certificate on every AI image. | Not advertised on the Jasper marketing site as of last review. |
Claim substantiation Are claims in drafts checked before publish? | Substantiation Mode on every tier. Claims auto-hedged or annotated `[citation needed]` against a tenant-owned Claims-DB. | Brand voice + tone calibration; Jasper does not advertise per-claim substantiation against a customer-owned fact base. |
