Define the tool evaluation job
Treat “faceswap” as a search job to investigate, not as proof that a SEELE feature exists. First clarify the requested job, observe current controls on a bounded test, and document workflow fit and evidence gaps. Write the intended audience, source owner, desired change, protected details, reviewer, and delivery condition before selecting any interface or model. That brief keeps the evaluation specific and makes an unsupported assumption visible early. At handoff, preserve the rights memo, and ask the factual editor to record visible continuity before the final sign-off.

Prepare inputs for identity transformation
For this topic, assemble documented consent from every identifiable person, authorized media, a legitimate purpose, and a disclosure plan. Record where each source came from, who may use it, and what must remain unchanged. Use a small representative asset for the first pass, keep the original untouched, and define a fallback route so experimentation cannot silently become the production master. At handoff, preserve the test fixture, and ask the delivery owner to record evidence freshness before the scope confirmation.
- Confirm ownership, consent, and allowed reuse At this stage, preserve the brief version, and ask the delivery owner to record temporal order before the editorial approval.
- Preserve an untouched source and version history At this stage, preserve the source ledger, and ask the workflow owner to record revision intent before the editorial approval.
- Name the reviewer and acceptance condition At this stage, preserve the test fixture, and ask the source custodian to record control availability before the editorial approval.

Test observable controls for faceswap
A bounded evaluation should inspect identity scope, temporal consistency, expression fidelity, edit reversibility, provenance, and disclosure. Change one meaningful variable at a time and record the date, workspace, account context, input, setting, result, and failure. Topic selection can prioritize the question, but it does not establish availability, quality, speed, licensing, or a supported SEELE workflow. At this stage, preserve the control log, and ask the workflow owner to record source fidelity before the production checkpoint.

Review evidence, safety, and policy boundaries
Do not enable impersonation, non-consensual face or body replacement, deceptive endorsements, or evasion of safeguards. Any identifiable face, body, or voice requires explicit permission, a legitimate purpose, disclosure where required, and a human check against impersonation or deceptive endorsement. For third-party products, competitors, plans, models, and platform rules, attach a verification date and primary source; an absent statement is an evidence gap rather than proof of a limitation. For the working record, preserve the authorization record, and ask the policy reviewer to record failure conditions before the acceptance review.

Approve a reversible production handoff
Before advancing “faceswap”, verify consent, inspect every frame for identity errors, preserve source records, and obtain a named human approval. Document remaining manual work, unresolved evidence, destination requirements, and the person accepting the result. The handoff should preserve sources and test notes, allow correction, and avoid promises about output quality, turnaround, business performance, publishing, or access that the evidence does not support. For a controlled test, preserve the authorization record, and ask the rights reviewer to record source fidelity before the dated decision.
