Canonical record
A deterministic structure ensures the same contents resolve to the same fingerprint.
System integrity
Trust should be testable.
A decision record becomes trustworthy when another party can test whether it is complete, time-fixed and unaltered.
The integrity chain
Five steps. One independently testable record.
01Decision
A consequential outcome crosses its execution boundary.
02Evidence record
Its governing state is structured as a portable artefact.
03Fingerprint
The exact contents produce a unique cryptographic reference.
04Timestamp
Independent anchoring fixes the record’s existence in time.
05Verification
A third party can test integrity without platform access.
Explore the mechanism
Technical detail appears when it earns attention.
SHA-256 fingerprint
A one-way hash makes any later alteration detectable.
Independent timestamp
RFC 3161 anchoring provides evidence that the record existed at a stated time.
Portable verification
Integrity can be checked by a recipient without access to the originating workflow.
Selective disclosure
Identifiers can support integrity testing without unnecessarily exposing underlying content.
The boundary
Integrity is not judgement.
System integrity supports scrutiny. It does not certify regulatory compliance, replace professional judgement or make legal determinations.
Veriscopic proves what was preserved and whether it changed—not whether the decision was correct.
