Research

Research that advances the AuditTrace evidence discipline and toolset.

Research explores lineage without surveillance, third-party verification without platform dependence, evidence sufficiency, bounded automation, and reproducible technical state. Research remains separate from released product claims.

System-state preservation

What state must survive so later review does not depend on memory and fragmented logs?

Independent verification

How can reviewers test supported artifact claims without trusting a single interface?

Human-gated agents

How should scope, approvals, context, evidence, and stop conditions constrain agent action?

Forensic readiness

How can people prepare for evidence preservation before an incident or dispute?

Hardware and firmware

How can owned devices and controlled laboratories preserve reproducible technical state?

Evidence sufficiency

What separates a pile of artifacts from a bounded, reviewable evidence package?
