Evidence layer

Preserve the proof behind every decision.

When an examiner asks "what did your screening show on March 15 at 12:36 EDT?", you need an answer that is both verifiable and instantly exportable. The Evidence Vault is our vision for that answer — with Evidence Capsule as the live implementation today.

Core capabilities

What the Evidence Vault includes

Bitemporal audit trail

Every screening event is recorded with both transaction-time (when the event occurred) and valid-time (which list version was active). This supports point-in-time reconstruction and historical compliance review.

Point-in-time screening reconstruction

Answer the question: 'What would our screening have shown on March 15 at 12:36 EDT?' Reconstruct any historical screening against the exact list versions and algorithm version that were active at that moment.

List version records

Every source ingestion is versioned and hash-identified. Screening events are bound to specific list snapshots, not just 'the current list.'

Evidence capsule

Structured export format containing query input, screened_at timestamp, list_versions, algorithm_version, match_score, recommendation, reviewer_action, and audit_id — in JSON.

Roadmap

From audit log to cryptographic proof

v1 — Today

  • Bitemporal audit logging
  • Evidence capsule export (JSON)
  • List version binding
  • Point-in-time query via dashboard

v2 — Next

  • Cryptographic hash chain per audit event
  • Daily Merkle root
  • Signed receipt with verification CLI
  • Immutable S3 object-lock anchoring

v3 — Future

  • Regulator response pack generator
  • XBRL export support
  • Third-party auditor verification portal
  • Cross-jurisdiction evidence templates
Decision-support, not compliance certification. The Evidence Vault preserves screening records and supports audit review. It does not guarantee regulatory outcomes, certify counterparties, approve transactions, or replace a regulated business's risk-based compliance program.
