Bounded Epistemic Architecture
Conflux Verify Methodology & Evidence Standards
A deterministic evidence and verification framework designed to evaluate business assertions against primary statutory registries, accredited bodies, and verifiable provenance records.
Core Safety Invariants
- Absence ≠ Contradiction: Missing records produce INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE, never false fraud labels.
- Network Failure ≠ Evidence: HTTP timeouts and drops degrade safely to UNVERIFIED.
- First-Party ≠ Independent: Self-disclosures require third-party registrar corroboration.
- Ambiguous Entity ≠ Verified: Generic trade names require exact registration identifiers.
- Expired ≠ Active: Lapsed historical certifications return OUTDATED status.
