Evidence Verification

A claim is an opinion.
Evidence is a record.

Every Reputation Record entry is built to carry proof — not just an assertion.

What evidence looks like

Four kinds of proof, one record.

Every evidence file is stored against the specific report it supports — never floating, never detached from the claim it backs up.

Screenshots & photos

Images attached directly to a report — conversations, receipts, listings, damage, correspondence.

Documents

PDFs and formal records — contracts, invoices, letters, official correspondence.

Video

Short video evidence attached to a report, stored alongside the record it supports.

Witness statements

A separate, identity-verified party can be attached to a report to corroborate what happened.

How evidence is handled today

What's true right now — not a roadmap.

Tied to a verified identity

Evidence can only be submitted by an identity-verified account — it is never anonymous, and it is never detached from who submitted it.

Visible to the subject

The person or business a report concerns can see every piece of evidence filed against them, not just the accusation.

Contestable, not just accepted

Evidence can be challenged through the dispute and resolution process — it strengthens a claim, it doesn’t automatically settle it.

Designed for automated authenticity checks. Structured evidence storage — every file tied to a specific report, reporter and timestamp — is the foundation automated verification (tamper detection, metadata analysis, forensic review) is built on. That deeper automated layer is on the roadmap, not a claim we make about today.

Evidence is what separates
a record from a rumor.
