Proof Models

Evidence Handoff Map

Evidence records, gate traces, labels, and timelines should hand off to human review. Honesty note: simplified evidence and proof model; jurisdictions and rules vary; the pinned first step states the as-of date; not legal advice.

Structured Visual

Jurisdiction: US; as of 2026-06-24; not legal advice; Code encodes the stated structural model, not the law itself.

RENDER STRUCTURE · REFUSE INTERPRETATION · CITE · ABSTAIN · HAND-OFF: render structure, refuse interpretation, cite provenance, abstain when unsupported, and hand off to human review.

Evidence model honesty note

Build a review spine

The stated process links item record, relevance trace, authentication records, custody events, hearsay trace, burden labels, exhibit timeline, and human review.

Example case-study slots

A future case study would fill each slot with pinned facts: item, source records, gate labels, custody events, timing, and reviewer notes.

The flow recomputes the route

The handoff map has 8 nodes and 7 edges from evidence item to human review.

Diagram note

The diagram is a workflow spine. Every branch ends in review instead of an evidence or case outcome.

Summary

The capstone pattern is simple: keep source data, gate traces, timing, and human review connected without predicting a legal result.
