Veriscopic Evidence Standard (VES)

A governance evidence standard defining how judgement, context, and responsibility are recorded and preserved at the moment a decision is exercised.

What VES defines

VES defines normative requirements for capturing and preserving governance evidence as it existed at a specific point in time — before outcomes, incidents, or hindsight.

It specifies evidence semantics, integrity posture, and reliance boundaries. It does not mandate specific cryptographic algorithms or storage mechanisms.

VES confirms evidence integrity only. It does not assess compliance, determine correctness, or provide legal advice.

Reference & guidance

Who relies on VES

  • Insurers and underwriting teams
  • Auditors and assurance reviewers
  • Procurement authorities and regulators
  • Courts, inquiries, and dispute processes

VES underpins Veriscopic’s Governance Evidence Packs through conforming implementation profiles, without embedding any compliance claims into the evidence itself.

Important

VES defines evidence semantics and integrity posture only. Interpretation and judgement remain the responsibility of the reviewer.
