Outcome
Exactly what changed, by how much and over what period.
THE PROOFENARY STANDARD
Trust should be inspectable.
A verification badge is only useful when people can see what it means. Proofenary gives every outcome a common evidence structure and keeps the distinction between supplied, confirmed and independently reviewed proof explicit.
Baseline
The starting point used to calculate or compare the result.
Context
Sector, environment, organisation scale and conditions that affect applicability.
Method
How the result was measured, including data source and comparison approach.
Provenance
Who supplied the evidence and their relationship to the solution.
Limitations
Known caveats, exclusions and factors that may prevent repeatability.
Freshness
When the result and its supporting evidence were last reviewed.
THREE CLEAR LEVELS
No single badge pretending all evidence is equal.
The launch model preserves useful early evidence while making stronger checks clearly visible.
Evidence supplied
Structured information has been provided by the solution provider. Provenance is visible; external confirmation is not yet complete.
Customer confirmed
The named evidence organisation has confirmed its relationship to the outcome and the accuracy of the published result.
Independently verified
An approved reviewer has examined the supporting evidence, method and published limitations against the Proofenary Standard.
LIVING EVIDENCE
Proof can expire, improve or be challenged.
Every Passport carries a review date. Material changes trigger re-review; substantiated challenges are recorded; outdated verification is never silently presented as current.
