0upvotes

Use when the user asks to "check our positioning against what we can actually ship", "trace which differentiators we can defend", or "reconcile the positioning canvas with the claims ledger"; reconciles the reused positioning canvas against the shippable stage and the claims ledger to produce a differentiation truth set — every differentiating claim verifiable or marked '[needs source]' — that TALE-T1 is judged against. Not for building the canvas — use positioning-mapper; not for adjudicating claims — use offer-claims-registry; not for authoring the message house — use message-system-architect. 定位真相/差异化校准/可交付现实/主张核对

# Positioning Truth Tracer

Reconciles the reused positioning canvas against two truth surfaces — what the product can actually ship (the stage record) and what the claims ledger has substantiated — to produce the **differentiation truth set**: the set of differentiators the brand can defend today, each labeled Measured / User-provided / `[needs source]`. It is the fourth Trace-phase move of the TALE loop and the upstream of the `T1` differentiation-integrity veto: the onlyness/difference statement must hold against named alternatives *and* rest only on claims that are in the ledger or explicitly flagged — never asserted as fact. See [tale-benchmark.md](../../../references/tale-benchmark.md) for the `T` sub-items this feeds (positioning matches shippable reality, every differentiating claim verifiable or `[needs source]`, aspirational framing separated from claimed fact) and the `T1` veto text.

**Scope guard**: this skill traces truth, it does not create positioning, adjudicate claims, or author messaging. It does **not** build the positioning canvas ([positioning-mapper](../../../launch/research/positioning-mapper/SKILL.md) is the sole upstream — if the canvas is missing, route there and stop), adjudicate or substantiate a claim ([offer-claims-registry](../../../protocol/offer-claims-registry/SKILL.md) is the sole writer of `memory/claims/claims-ledger.md` — this skill only marks and routes), author the durable message hierarchy or arc ([message-system-architect](../../architect/message-system-architect/SKILL.md)), or compute the TALE profile result (only the [narrative-quality-auditor](../../evaluate/narrative-quality-auditor/SKILL.md) gate scores TALE and runs `T1`). It works one lever — differentiation truth — and hands off.

## Quick Start

```
Trace the positioning truth for [product]. Canvas is at [path or paste]. Current stage: [draft/alpha/beta/GA].
```

```
Reconcile our positioning canvas against the claims ledger — which differentiators can we defend today, and which are [needs source]?
