Original evidence, matters, annotations, custody records, and controlled analysis.
Evident Technologies LLC · stewardship record
One operator.
Separate duties.
A founder can manage the ecosystem without collapsing the company, evidence product, constitutional source service, and public newsroom into one database or one decision.
Architecture decision
Civics Hierarchy sits beside Evident ICU as a shared company capability.
It is not merely a page inside the flagship and not an editorial database controlled by AC Civic Record. Evident ICU embeds the read-only source service; AC Civic Record cites versioned public releases; the standalone viewer remains independently usable.
Versioned public law, jurisdiction mappings, and source provenance.
Reviewed reporting, public records, explainers, demonstrations, and corrections.
Founder-operable controls
One person may fill several roles. The record should not pretend they were one decision.
Non-negotiable release gates
No direct publish path from private evidence to public journalism.
Private, shared source, internal analysis, or public candidate.
Create a publishable derivative; never expose or alter the original.
Separate record fact, disputed assertion, inference, opinion, and legal question.
Require a documented second pass and outside review when feasible.
Publish with provenance, a correction path, and rollback state.
