Implementation Plan: Civic Communication Authenticity Infrastructure (CCAI)

# Implementation Plan: Civic Communication Authenticity Infrastructure (CCAI)

## Overview

This implementation plan provides a hackathon-realistic MVP roadmap for the CCAI system. The plan focuses on core functionality: domain registry verification, embedding-based impersonation detection, authenticity score computation, explainable flag generation, translation with integrity validation, and API endpoints. The implementation uses Python with AWS serverless architecture (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, API Gateway, Bedrock, Comprehend).

The MVP prioritizes essential features while maintaining production-ready security, scalability, and testing practices. Property-based tests validate all 47 correctness properties from the design document.
