Standard of Proof v1: Deterministic Evidence Expectations
Standard of Proof v1 describes the evidence required for Legacy Lens to issue authority statements. It defines the scope of claims, the non-claims, and the recording of provability boundaries.
What the standard covers
It specifies required artifacts, permissible encodings, registry versioning, boundary handling, and decision formats. It states explicitly what Legacy Lens will refuse if inputs or context are insufficient.
Why the standard exists
Regulated decisions need predictable rules. A written standard prevents ad hoc judgments, keeps outputs deterministic, and allows auditors to compare runs across time.
Governance consequence
Claims outside the standard are rejected. Decisions issued under the standard carry explicit scope and non-claims, making them defensible in board and regulator reviews.
Evidence and verification
- The standard references cryptographic binding and replay rules for every bundle.
- It defines how refusals and boundaries must be recorded.
- It is versioned; the version number appears in every issued bundle.
