Abstract: This preprint introduces the Authenticity Feedback Model (AFM) — a cyclic framework that quantifies perception–reality gaps in architectural sustainability, performance, and ESG legitimacy. The model integrates linguistic tone, stakeholder perception, and empirical performance validation to expose greenwashing patterns and reinforce authentic governance. Drawing upon decoupling theory, signaling theory, institutional legitimacy, and cybernetic feedback principles, AFM redefines how ESG performance can be continuously measured, verified, and corrected in real time.
