Evidence Governance

Source-bound, scored, contradiction-checked, and release-gated

Every claim ingested by KRYOS-XS becomes an evidence object with cryptographic lineage, scoring, contradiction tracking, privacy classification, and a controlled release gate before any external use.

No claim moves to a later stage until the previous stage has produced a hash, a score, and a written governance decision. Every step is reversible from the audit ledger.

ECS

Evidence Confidence

Measures source strength, corroboration, recency, directness, and provenance quality. ECS rises when independent sources confirm a claim with direct observation and verifiable origin.

CE

Contradiction Entropy

Measures unresolved conflicts, inconsistent accounts, weak inference chains, stale claims, and disputed evidence. Lower CE indicates a stable claim posture.

SSI

Source Stability

Measures whether a source remains credible across time, challenge, cross-reference, and context. SSI degrades when a source is retracted, contradicted, or shown to be circular.

DRI

Replay Integrity

Measures whether the analysis can be reproduced from the same sources, prompts, settings, and evidence chain. DRI is the audit anchor for legal and donor review.

Contradiction Quarantine

Quarantine Lane

Blocked

Items with weak sourcing, unresolved contradictions, missing consent, private witness risk, child or survivor exposure, or legal overstatement are blocked from public release until a human reviewer either resolves the issue or closes the object with a written governance note.

  • Single-source claim with weight above threshold
  • Open contradiction across two or more independent sources
  • Identifiable child, survivor, or witness without consent
  • Geographic anchor too precise for current authority
  • Legal category asserted beyond evidence support
  • Source provenance cannot be verified
