Global teams often hold a master claim deck while each country has different evidence, wording and limits. Copying the regional claim directly into several languages can preserve brand consistency and still exceed local scope.
Start with controlled evidence, not campaign slogans
Every claim must trace back to a label, approved file, controlled technical document or other source confirmed by the accountable owner. A statement that exists only in a sales deck remains pending.
The minimum Claim Matrix
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Claim ID | Trace the statement across versions and markets |
| Source wording | Preserve the confirmed meaning |
| Permitted creator wording | Provide natural, approved options |
| Conditions/limits | Keep audience and qualifiers visible |
| Prohibited leap | Show how the statement must not be expanded |
| Evidence | Document, version and page |
| Market/status/owner | Control local use and accountability |
Use three visible language layers
| Layer | What it contains | Control |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Exact confirmed CLAIM-A | No change of meaning |
| Permitted wording | One or two locally approved expressions | Retain conditions and audience |
| Prohibited extrapolation | Examples turning support into treatment or experience into universal outcome | Creator can recognise the boundary |
Give creators freedom inside a fence
Mandatory product information, qualifiers, warnings and prohibited wording stay fixed. Story, setting, pacing and personal context remain creative space. A creator asking whether a new phrase is covered should be treated as good governance, not friction.
Control comments and live content
- Prepare approved answers for predictable questions.
- Route individual medical questions to the official channel.
- Provide real-time support for live formats.
- Log new questions for the next matrix version.
Keep market and version visible
Use a matrix version, effective date and local owner. The creator brief must reference the same version. If a statement cannot map to a claim ID, it returns to marketing and the regulatory owner—it does not proceed to the creator.
The matrix belongs inside the regional-local approval workflow; speaker selection is covered in the senior-audience creator model.
A Claim Matrix creates an auditable language boundary; it does not itself guarantee compliance. Market-specific requirements still require qualified confirmation.
