THE PROBLEM
Digital evidence is fragmented across media, platforms, people, institutions and decision logs.
The working demonstrator establishes a governed evidence-continuity core. The next value inflection is independent evaluation and production hardening.
Foundry is the present implementation environment. The defensibility thesis is the ontology, governed transition model, audit semantics and falsifiable evaluation method.
linked evidence stages

bounded evaluation wedge
The current artefact is a synthetic, branch-local Palantir Foundry demonstrator with one verified end-to-end governed transaction. It is not a production deployment.
01No external-evidence authenticity claim
02No legal-admissibility or evidential-weight claim
03No cryptographic sealing or custody claim
04No production-security or readiness claim
05No customer deployment or external validation claim
06No populated Continuity Gap in the canonical case
The next programme is sequenced around evidence: independent review, production controls, a restricted pilot and clear integration boundaries.
Test whether unfamiliar reviewers can reconstruct the recorded path without hidden implementation knowledge
Define production identity, authority controls, role separation and security boundaries
Run one synthetic or sanitised restricted pilot with explicit success and stop criteria
Specify platform-independent integration boundaries without reopening the validated core for novelty
The commercial route begins with a synthetic or sanitised evidence-continuity evaluation. If the evidence supports further work, it can lead to a restricted proof-of-concept proposal.
Map one existing investigation workflow.
Identify evidence states and authority decisions users currently infer.
Build a synthetic or sanitised comparative scenario.
Measure reconstruction errors, comprehension failures and task time.
Deliver findings and define a restricted proof-of-concept proposal.
Evaluate the evidence-continuity model against a synthetic or sanitised workflow—without overstating what the demonstrator proves.
