Applications · evidence profiles

Different questions. The same burden of proof.

Every application begins with a precise question: what must a third party be able to verify later? GOVP binds the claim, artifact, issuer, method and observations without pretending that integrity equals truth.

01 / Evidence profile

A use case is a verification contract.

A credible implementation states the question, the signed artifact, the independent evidence and the boundary of the conclusion.

01Question

What must someone be able to demonstrate later?

02Claim

What exactly does the issuer assert — no more and no less?

03Artifact

Which bytes, rules, inputs or outputs carry that assertion?

04Corroboration

Who can independently observe, timestamp or reproduce it?

05Boundary

Which tempting conclusion remains unsupported?

02 / Implementations

GOVP in practice.

These are not peer products competing with the protocol. They demonstrate different evidence patterns built with it.

Public integrity

WordPress Public Evidence

A public website protects tariffs, policies, certifications or product statements and retains every version. When challenged years later, the organization can produce the exact historical record and an auditor can verify it independently.

QuestionWhat did this domain publish at that version?
EvidenceCanonical page, GOVP-1 record, history and optional witness receipts.
Does not proveThat the published claim was true or lawful.
Decision integrity

GOVP Play

A game seals its energy-drain function, loot rules and seed commitment before the player starts. The finished session carries the input trace required to recompute every frame and draw independently.

QuestionWere the declared rules applied to this player?
EvidencePrecommitted ruleset, seed commitment, signed receipt and append-only log.
Does not proveFairness of rules that were transparently unfair.
Process integrity

Tribunal 11

A pseudonymous academic work moves through tutor consent, identity confirmation, blind review, editorial publication and an independently verifiable credential. The public proof need not expose the minor’s real identity.

QuestionDid the required consent and review precede publication?
EvidenceConsent record, append-only audit chain, review acts, publication seal and credential.
Does not proveThe academic quality beyond the declared review process.
Clinical process & data

Blue

A multi-clinic rehabilitation platform seals course completion and rehabilitation session acts, rejects manipulated records and carries GOVP provenance into dataset releases used for model training.

QuestionDoes this session or dataset match the recorded clinical process?
EvidenceEd25519 session acts, canonical metrics, release manifest and provenance hash.
Does not proveClinical efficacy or the truth of manually entered activity.
Measurement integrity

BiologicalSecure agro profile

A livestock operation records exposure inputs, calculates an endocrine-load profile with a declared method, attributes the result by route and seals the starting point before corrective action.

QuestionWhich inputs and method produced this baseline?
EvidenceInput profile, calculation version, route attribution and GOVP fingerprint.
Does not proveThat estimated inputs equal laboratory measurements.
Structured assessment

Atlas & BiologicalSecure

Atlas supplies referenced biological relationships and evidence grades. BiologicalSecure applies a declared assessment method and emits a versioned GOVP record. They demonstrate GOVP; they do not sit beside it as competing standards.

QuestionWhich sources, method and version produced this assessment?
EvidenceReferenced graph, evidence grade, structured inputs and signed assessment.
Does not proveAbsolute product safety, efficacy or regulatory approval.
Software supply chain

Software and model releases

A release binds source revision, build artifact, declared pipeline, model or dataset card and public checksum. in-toto or builder evidence can enter the Sources Verification Layer only when its signing origin is independently authorized.

QuestionIs this the exact artifact the named publisher released?
EvidenceArtifact hash, build provenance, authorized source signatures and release record.
Does not proveThat the software is secure or free of malicious behavior.
03 / The common rule

Every case inherits the same honest boundary.

GOVP proves integrity, attribution, reproducibility and observation to the extent present in the evidence. Domain expertise still decides what the evidence means.

Reusable protocol properties

  • Deterministic artifact fingerprint.
  • Domain-bound issuer signature.
  • Portable independent verification.
  • Optional time and witness evidence.
  • Explicit revocation and version history.

Profile-specific responsibility

  • Define the claim precisely.
  • Choose authoritative inputs.
  • State measurement uncertainty.
  • Identify genuine independent sources.
  • Avoid conclusions the evidence cannot support.
