CLAIM LEDGER

Evidence before confidence.

This ledger separates mechanisms that exist from behaviors observed, guarantees qualified, and outcomes still awaiting meaningful experiments.

EVIDENCE / QUALIFICATION RENDERER

A claim is downstream of evidence.

No visual status silently upgrades a mechanism, run, or projection. The evidence scope travels with the claim.

01 / SUBJECTPackage or execution form

02 / RECEIPTSComplete, attributable evidence

03 / VERIFYDeterministic checks

04 / QUALIFYScoped verdict

05 / CLAIMBounded public statement

E / EVIDENCE STANDARD

Claim and qualification language

Evidence views distinguish what ran, what was verified, and what may be claimed.

Canonical packageThe authority-bearing source.

Derived projectionA harness-specific representation.

Enforcement gateA deterministic allow or block point.

Human decisionAn explicit operator judgment.

Evidence pathA receipt-backed observation.

Trust boundaryAuthority changes across this line.
