Evidence Governance

How evidence becomes publishable.

Published evidence must pass governed thresholds for confidence, verification, and review. These standards exist before any outcome is published. They define what qualifies as proof.


Classification

How proof is classified

Live evidence

Data derived from real assessments, decisions, and verified outcomes. Sample size and verification method are attached.

Aggregate evidence

Statistics computed across multiple cases. Published only when minimum sample thresholds are met.

Demonstration pattern

Illustrative examples showing how the system classifies and governs. Not verified outcomes. Visibly labelled.

Static proof asset

Anonymised case dossiers built from real operating patterns. Not live data. Labelled accordingly.


Verification

How outcomes are verified

Self-reported

Captured from user feedback. Never represented as independently verified. Not eligible for publication.

Behavioural

Derived from observed user actions within the system. Tracked through execution records and commitment checkpoints.

Documentary

Supported by documentary evidence: contracts, financial records, organisational data. Requires source tracing.

Operator-confirmed

Independently reviewed and confirmed by a human operator. Highest individual verification method.


Hierarchy

Evidence origin hierarchy

Not all evidence carries equal weight. The system distinguishes between:

  1. Operator-confirmed — highest trust. Human review of documentary evidence.
  2. Documentary — source-traced to financial, contractual, or organisational records.
  3. Behavioural — observed actions within the system over time.
  4. Self-reported — user-submitted feedback. Useful for calibration. Not publishable as proof.

Integrity seals

What the seal levels mean

Every evidence asset receives an integrity seal based on confidence, verification method, and data completeness. See the full seal registry for details.

Bronze

Verified internally. Not publishable. Minimum 85% confidence.

Silver

Outcome-supported. Publication-eligible after human review. Requires behavioural or documentary evidence and financial impact.

Gold

Operator-confirmed with documentary trace. Requires 90%+ confidence, financial impact, and contract trace.

Platinum

Reserved. Not currently issued. Will require repeated verified patterns across multiple independent cases.


Publication

When evidence may be published

Publication requires at minimum a Silver integrity seal.

Aggregate metrics require a minimum of 15 verified cases before any public claim is made.

Case studies require human review and anonymisation verification before publication.

Self-reported outcomes are never publishable as proof. They are used for internal calibration.


Review

The human review gate

No evidence auto-publishes. Every case draft, aggregate metric, and proof block passes through human review before reaching any external surface. The review confirms anonymisation, accuracy, and that no identifying information can be derived by cross-referencing public data.


Privacy

Anonymisation and privacy controls

All published evidence is anonymised. No client name, individual name, or organisation identifier appears in any public proof unless expressly authorised. Financial figures are presented as ranges where identification risk exists. Timeframes are generalised when specificity could enable de-anonymisation.


Boundaries

What we do not publish

  • Internal classification methods or computational structures
  • Routing logic or decision-engine internals
  • Exact admission or refusal thresholds
  • Internal state architecture
  • Proprietary operating mechanics
  • Individual respondent data
  • Unapproved or suppressed evidence
  • Client-identifying information without permission
  • Outcomes below the publication seal threshold

Labels

What proof labels mean

Demonstration pattern

This illustrates how the system classifies proof. It is not a published verified outcome.

Static proof asset

Anonymised case built from real operating patterns. Not live data.

Verified case evidence

Outcome verified through the integrity seal system and approved for publication.

Insufficient sample

Not enough verified cases to publish aggregate metrics. This is honest, not evasive.


Current status

Current publication posture

Some outputs displayed on this platform are demonstration patterns. Published evidence requires human review. Self-reported outcomes are not treated as publishable proof. Aggregate metrics require minimum cohort thresholds. Client-identifying data is not published without explicit permission.

We publish our standards before our outcomes. The standards are the proof that the institution exists.
