Evidence that vetoes had no effects, and allows did

Evidence packs are delivered artifacts that demonstrate governance behavior at declared irreversible sinks: VETO ⇒ no side effects, ALLOW ⇒ side effects occurred—within the governed execution path.


📌 What an Evidence Pack is

  • A structured bundle of artifacts tied to specific declared sinks.
  • Designed for engineering review and internal assurance, not marketing claims.
  • Built around runtime semantics: ALLOW / VETO and fail-closed UNKNOWN ⇒ VETO.

✅ What it proves (and what it doesn’t)

Proves:

  • Behavior at the governed boundary for declared sinks.
  • That veto decisions did not trigger irreversible effects through the governed path.

Does not prove:

  • Global system security
  • Complete correctness of the whole system
  • Regulatory certification

📦 Typical Evidence Pack contents (high-level)

  • Sink definitions + invariants specification used for governance decisions.
  • Test results demonstrating representative ALLOW, VETO, and UNKNOWN / INVALID cases.
  • Decision / side-effect correlation artifacts showing:
    • allow ⇒ effect
    • veto ⇒ no effect

🔎 How teams use it

  • Engineering: review invariants, validate tests, understand boundary semantics.
  • Platform / operations: confirm what was made non-executable by design.
  • Internal audit / assurance: validate that controls exist at execution time, not post-hoc.

🧭 When you receive it

  • Tier 1: evidence plan and pack structure (definition-level)
  • Tier 2: partial pack aligned to scaffold and test harness
  • Tier 3: full pack tied to the integrated Customer-Nyxi variant
  • Tier 4: refreshed packs as sinks and invariants evolve
