Trust and evidence guide

Read the record before relying on the label.

Sable evidence is useful when its authority, decision, scope, validity, and missing evidence are visible. The public name of an artifact should never be treated as a substitute for that review.

Evidence types
01

Coverage report

A scope-limited account of what the supported source made visible, which actions had active policy coverage, which had policy gaps, which had instrumentation gaps, and whether the report completed.

02

Decision record

A record that may connect the active policy reference, public outcome, reason, time, governed surface, project scope, and available review or trace context.

03

Review record

The reviewer, status, note, and decision context available when an ESCALATED interaction required authorized human judgment.

04

Policy artifact

The compiled and activated governance version used as the source of runtime authority for the relevant decision.

05

Verified by Sable artifact

A scope-limited evidence surface for a declared decision and validity context—not an external certification.

How to read an artifact
01

What is the scope?

Identify the project, environment, governed surface, action or output, policy version, and validity window.

02

What was actually observed?

Separate supplied inputs, detected actions, runtime records, reviewer actions, and unavailable evidence.

03

What decision was returned?

Read APPROVED, RESTRICTED, or ESCALATED in the context of the active customer policy.

04

What is missing?

Look for extraction failures, unavailable policy, missing instrumentation, absent traces, unresolved review, or expired evidence.

05

What changed since then?

A later model, workflow, vendor, policy, user population, environment, or consequence can invalidate earlier evidence.

What it does not establish

Scope-limited evidence cannot carry universal authority.

  • 01

    Universal safety certification

  • 02

    Guaranteed legal or regulatory compliance

  • 03

    Proof about actions outside the declared scope

  • 04

    Independent validation that the customer policy is complete or correct

  • 05

    Permanent authorization after the validity window or operating conditions change

  • 06

    Evidence of business value unless outcome evidence is separately established

Need the product-specific evidence boundary?

The Trust Center records current public truth. Deployment-specific storage, retention, export, identity, access, integration, support, and commercial commitments must be confirmed for the relevant project.
