Why This Becomes Necessary
Post-incident review fails when the most important evidence is scattered across APIs, logs, chat threads, and vendors with different retention periods and access controls.
Dispute Resolution, Liability & Evidence
Evidence Registry
Tamper-evident storage for logs, receipts, and investigatory evidence from agent incidents.
Three Pillars
What a Solution Must Provide
Operational systems need immutable timestamps, chain-of-custody metadata, retention rules, access controls, export formats, and linkages to the dispute or oversight process using the evidence.
Regulatory & Standards Angle
Record-keeping duties only help in practice if evidence can still be located, verified, and presented when an incident, claim, or supervisory inquiry begins.
