Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What organizes, connects, or makes decisions possible.

Misinformation does not require deceptive intent, unlike disinformation.
Platforms, networks, and repetition can amplify false content.
The distinction helps tailor fact-checking, media literacy, and responses to accidental errors.
