Evidence Gate -- Prove Operational Claims

A green checkmark is not the same thing as a real outcome.

Evidence Gate audits claims such as “deployed,” “connected,” “delivered,” “migrated,” and “safe to delete” against dated, inspectable proof. It keeps five evidence states visibly separate: LIVE, SIMULATED, CONFIGURED, BLOCKED, and NOT OBSERVED.

What you get

• A precise proof standard for the claim being made
• A dated ledger tying every material conclusion to a source
• Counterevidence and unresolved gaps, not just supporting signals
• A narrow PASS, PARTIAL, FAIL, or BLOCKED verdict
• The smallest next observation that would resolve the biggest uncertainty

Use it before a release update, client handoff, migration sign-off, cleanup, provider change, or any moment when “done” would be expensive to misunderstand.

This is not an execution agent. It begins read-only and does not deploy, publish, delete, rotate, migrate, merge, or message anyone without separate authorization.

Pair it with Release Candidate Audit when you need a full immutable-commit review rather than a focused operational proof check.
