ITAD Evidence Protocol
The ITAD Lens Evidence Protocol defines a governed envelope for identity, custody, sanitization, processing, exception, approval, physical outcome, sale, settlement, provenance, correction, and verification across systems and organizations.
Product evidence
The ecosystem should be able to exchange governed evidence without forcing every participant into the same UI.
ITAD Lens can become an interoperability layer and evidence standard across enterprise, provider, erasure, logistics, processing, buyer, recycler, finance, and audit systems while the platform continues to govern cross-boundary consequence.Core semantics and extension points remain explicit.
Cryptographic integrity is checked separately from factual acceptance.
Superseded evidence remains traceable.
No commercial relationship can substitute for conformance.
What changes
Compounding intelligence is valuable only when longitudinal memory remains attributable, private knowledge remains partitioned, sharing remains authorized, and modeled recommendations remain separate from historical fact and consequential authority.
The envelope identifies subject, event type, actor, authority, source, time, place, claims, attachments, integrity, schema, and verification state.
Consumers validate schema, signature, identity, issuer, authority, revocation, correction, time, purpose, and permitted disclosure.
ERP, erasure, logistics, warehouse, resale, recycler, finance, and audit products can produce or consume compatible evidence.
Versioning, conformance, deprecation, extension review, security, privacy, dispute, and certification rules remain public and controlled.
Governed workflow
Memory is accumulated, qualified, applied, and shared through explicit provenance, permissions, confidence, policy, and authority rather than becoming an invisible pool of ungoverned history.
Create an envelope from an authorized event or system with identity, provenance, claims, and integrity.
Share the permitted envelope through APIs, files, partner exchange, or passport disclosure.
Validate schema, signature, issuer, identity, authority, correction, revocation, and freshness.
Attach eligible evidence to the canonical object graph without erasing source or verification state.
Operating views
The same asset and economic truth should support commercial, operational, financial, security, and executive decisions without creating competing versions of reality.
Create conformant evidence from specialist systems and operational events.
Inspect integrity, issuer, authority, correction, revocation, and acceptance state.
Manage compatibility, versions, certification, disputes, and enterprise acceptance.
Modeled evidence envelope
The scenario demonstrates protocol semantics and not a live certification, external integration, or production standard adoption claim.
Modeled product architecture only. Values and interfaces are illustrative and do not represent a customer deployment, measured performance, benchmark, financing commitment, or production availability claim.Schema-valid signed event
Signature and content hash valid
Issuer and mass evidence still evaluated
Excluded from circularity calculations until accepted
