How to produce a regulator-ready evidence packet

A useful packet contains enough structure to be verified by someone who distrusts your system.

Packet components

  • Packet manifest: event scope, chain references, and included artifacts
  • Identity evidence: actor identity, key source, and policy decision metadata
  • Provenance evidence: fingerprints and transformation lineage
  • Governance evidence: controls context, enforcement outcomes, escalation state
  • Verification status: chain validity checks and trusted timestamp outcome

Export formats should be stable and machine-readable so legal and regulator workflows are repeatable under time pressure.
