Governance

Who approved what, the evidence behind every claim, and the gates that only a person can open. AI never appears on this screen.

Two approvers sign each locked revision. Any change after locking creates a new one.

Every claim carries its status and a hash in the chain. Tested is never shown as certified.

Example data. Each record links to the previous one by hash.
