The use case

The problem

Your CEO did nine interviews last quarter. You booked six of them. The other three — a conference panel that got uploaded, a podcast recorded months ago and released yesterday, a hallway interview at an industry event — are on the record, quotable, and invisible to you until one of them turns up in a reporter's question you didn't prep for.

Comms teams own the message but rarely the full record of it. The quotes-on-record list — every commitment, number and characterization your executive has made publicly — is the team's defensive perimeter, and it erodes silently every time an appearance publishes without your knowledge. The record is public; the gap is that nobody sweeps it.

The mechanics

How veridive MCP helps

deep_search is the sweep: your executive's name, recency-filtered, run weekly. It catches the appearances you booked and the ones that surfaced on their own — the delayed podcast release, the panel upload, the event interview. Evidence snippets show immediately what topics each appearance touched, so triage is a glance.

library_import_youtube_video turns the sweep into the archive: every appearance imported and tagged, transcripts included. Now the quotes-on-record list maintains itself from primary sources — searchable when a reporter calls ("has she ever commented on X?"), diffable when the message evolves, and complete when legal asks for everything said publicly about the acquisition. The perimeter stops eroding.

Step by step

How to run it

  1. 1
    Connect veridive MCP

    One-time setup: add the veridive MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client and generate your API key. Takes about two minutes.

  2. 2
    Run the weekly sweep

    Everything with your executive's name that surfaced this week — booked or not.

    Find video appearances by <executive> uploaded this week — interviews, panels, podcasts, anything — use veridive's deep_search.
  3. 3
    Archive what's on the record

    Import each appearance, tagged by exec and quarter. The archive is the comms team's institutional memory.

    Import these into my veridive library, tagged '<exec>' and '<quarter>': <video links>
  4. 4
    Keep the quotes list current

    After each sweep, update the on-record list — new commitments, numbers, characterizations, with sources.

    From this week's imported appearances: any new commitments, numbers or notable characterizations from <executive>? Quote them with video and timestamp.
Before vs after

Problems it solves

  • A third of executive appearances publish without comms knowing — until a reporter quotes one.
  • Delayed podcast releases surface months-old statements into today's news context.
  • "Has she ever said anything about X?" takes a day of memory-mining instead of a search.
  • The on-record list decays silently; its gaps are discovered adversarially.
The payoff

Why it's valuable

  • The full public record, swept weekly — booked and unbooked appearances alike.
  • A searchable archive answers reporter-call questions in seconds, with sources.
  • New commitments and numbers get flagged the week they're made, not the week they're quoted back.
  • Prep packets improve: the exec sees what they've already said before saying something else.

Questions

FAQ

Why sweep weekly instead of relying on our media-monitoring vendor?

Vendors track mentions in coverage; this tracks the primary appearances themselves — including the long-tail podcasts and panel uploads vendors classify as low-priority. It's the layer between clipping services and nothing.

Can it cover several executives?

One sweep per name, same cadence — the archive tags keep them separate. Most teams cover the CEO plus whoever else does media regularly.

What does the archive make possible later?

Everything downstream: message-consistency analysis, prep dossiers, legal's 'all public statements' requests, and the quarterly what-did-we-say review. See the spokesperson-analysis use case for the next step.
