The Gen Z Scrutiny Playbook explains why this generation’s digital fluency and values‑driven mindset make them uniquely equipped to spot performative activism, tone‑deaf messaging, and credibility gaps. What older audiences might overlook, Gen Z reframes as systemic failure.
This guide offers diagnostics, early warning signals, and trust repair frameworks tailored to Gen Z’s expectations for transparency, inclusivity, and accountability. It shows how to design systems that withstand interrogation, build participatory credibility, and narrate evolution rather than perfection.
