Methods before claimsAn atomic, verifiable statement linked to evidence, a coverage envelope and separate human assessment dimensions.

Method cards

Show a method's purpose, inputs, procedure, limitations, version and known errors.

No-network capture target preflight

Reject unsafe URLs, redirects and DNS states before an isolated runner performs network activity.

  • normalized target URL
  • redirect and DNS observations produced by the isolated runner

  • policy admission decision
  • stable blocker code without a network connection

Limitations

  • The method performs no DNS lookup, connection, redirect or content collection.
  • A DNS observation is not authoritative outside a trusted isolated runner.
  • A successful preflight is not legal or contractual authorization to collect.

Evidence SpineThe connected chain from source to conclusion that preserves versions, exact anchors, limitations, transformations and human decisions. contract validation

Verify that a bounded investigation preserves sources, search coverage, evidence anchorsAn exact pointer to a fragment of a document, page, image or media item that supports or refutes a conclusion., separated assessment dimensions, human reviewThe stage where an authorized professional examines evidence, method, limitations and harm risk and records a decision. and an auditable encrypted export.

  • synthetic source passportA versioned source record describing ownership, legal basis, coverage, freshness, risk and collection-admission state. and immutable version
  • bounded synthetic search attemptOne recorded search run with its query, checked sources, time bounds, results, failures and exclusions.
  • synthetic evidenceResearch material whose provenance, time, integrity state and link to an exact source version are preserved. payload and claim

  • coverage envelopeA required record of checked sources and time bounds, search completeness and the limits beyond which a conclusion must not be applied. and evidence anchor
  • human review decision
  • verified audit chainA log where every event is linked to the previous event hash, making later undisclosed alteration detectable. and encrypted private case bundleAn encrypted portable container for case records, its manifest and audit evidence with mandatory integrity verification.

Limitations

  • The fixture represents no real person, organization, procurement or event.
  • Local UTC is not trusted time.
  • The method does not benchmarkA test set with expected answers that measures a reference implementation, not real-world quality. live capture, OCR, retrieval or model quality.
  • Passing this method does not authorize production or private-data processing.

TenantA security boundary isolating one organization's users, cases, keys and policy from every other organization.-local multilingual search baseline

Measure deterministic case-scoped retrieval before selecting a production search owner.

  • allow-listed structured case fields
  • synthetic Russian, Kazakh and English queries

  • digest-bound ranked record references
  • positive, negative and zero-result measurements

Limitations

  • This bounded linear baseline is not a production search engine.
  • There is no morphology, semantic, vector or cross-organization search.
  • The synthetic set does not establish relevance quality on real Kazakhstan data.
