Platform
What carries a Trust Object
Censio writes one sealed record for each machine judgment. The platform is what issues that record, what carries it, and what checks it.
What the platform is
The Trust Object
One calibrated assessment with its full evidence set, its methodology version, its model panel and its timestamp. Living, governed, and sealed.
The CensioCert
The certificate layer — the document an auditor holds. The API is the machine form of the same record; the verify page is its public face.
The evidence network
The engine is only as strong as the evidence it analyses, so evidence arrives from named providers with provenance and custody attached under EPCP.
Anchoring
Epoch roots commit to rails Censio does not operate. What is live and what is specified is stated in the register.
TIPstack
Six things the platform does
Trust Objects
The record itself — claim, confidence, method, evidence, and the fingerprint that seals them together.
Sealing
A canonical serialisation and a digest. Deterministic: the same record produces the same fingerprint anywhere.
Anchoring
Roots batch into epochs and commit to a qualified timestamp and, where live, a public chain we do not operate.
Evidence network
Sources resolved, weighed, and kept — including the ones that argued against the conclusion.
CensioCert
The certificate an auditor holds. It verifies against the anchor without a call to us.
Replay
Reconstruct what the system would have concluded at a past moment, from the evidence it held then.
