Sentient Proof

Trust the disclosure, then verify the evidence.

Proof describes how an endpoint handles provenance, time, confidence, correction, and distribution. It does not declare that every result is perfect.

Open trust layer

A manifest, not a marketing badge.

Each live service publishes a machine-readable manifest beside its API. Buyers can evaluate controls before data enters a model, workflow, or decision.

What it discloses

Proof makes operational promises testable.

PROVENANCE

Where did it come from?

Source class, evidence URL or raw record reference, retrieval context, and content integrity.

FRESHNESS

Which time do you mean?

Event, publication, and retrieval timestamps remain separate so buyers can judge staleness.

RECOURSE

What happens when it is wrong?

Correction routes, review states, material update handling, and visibility restrictions.
