The receipt standard / Version 1.0

Trust is not a badge.
It’s a trail.

Each receipt is designed to connect a claim to its evidence, its reviewers, and a tamper-evident fingerprint. Cryptographic terms describe the intended system architecture—not a substitute for editorial judgment.

What “verified” means here

01

Evidence over assertion

Important claims should be supported by inspectable, attributable material whenever safety permits.

02

Confidence, not certainty

Receipts show evidence strength and known limits. They never turn reporting into an absolute guarantee.

03

Corrections stay visible

Material changes append to the record, preserving what changed, when, and why.
