01 · VERIFIED FACT
The verified core fact
Alongside vendor capability claims, the research page explicitly lists causal reasoning, object permanence and success-bias issues; these now belong in short-drama shot test plans.
This page supports the finding “Runway's Gen-4.5 page documents causal-reasoning and object-permanence limits.” The finding uses only the currently public information in the sources below and is recorded under methodology v1.0.0.

Why this matters to the industry
This signal can inform a model shortlist and reproducible test hypotheses, especially for shot design, input assets, revision paths, deployment boundaries and cost records. Official capability descriptions do not establish stable performance on project material and cannot replace fixed-sample, fixed-version production testing.
03 · ACTION CHECK
Production and operations checklist
- 01
Record model name, version, access path, input limits and output specifications.
- 02
Retest the same characters, environments and shot objectives under reproducible conditions.
- 03
Preserve failures, revision counts, human time and final delivery yield—not only the best demo.
EVIDENCE BOUNDARY
Evidence boundary
Verified means the source, time and fields passed publication gates. It is not an independent guarantee of product performance, commercial return or future policy. Official statements establish public capabilities and rules; cross-platform comparisons, market size and outcome claims still require consistent samples and independent data.
