Domain Signals PRO-014

Evidence and provenance

Evidence and provenance shows how one part of the sealed assessment helps understand where conclusions come from. A domain can expose useful evidence before anyone opens an internal system. Domain Signals turns that bounded outside view into a decision, an owner and a verifiable next step.

Bounded, non-exploitative Authorised external assessment.

Bounded evidence. Explicit responsibility. No hidden inference.

Evidence before assertion

What the product can support

The service starts with the exact domain you submit and the permission you record. It observes governed external protocols, separates your evidence from provider-managed context and seals one consistent report for every audience. The exact target, source, observation time, responsibility and evidence state remain available to entitled readers.

Supported capability

The first-party Signals Exposure Index records governed DNS, certificate, TLS, HTTP, email, service, fingerprint, attribution, dependency, geography and evidence-health observations when applicable.

Capability register and sealed projection

Supported capability

Action Brief, Signal Board, Assessment and Expert View are different presentations of the same sealed report evidence.

Cross-surface consistency tests

Binding boundary

Missing, stale, disputed or unavailable evidence cannot be treated as safety.

Capability reconciliation contract

Binding boundary

Provider or collector failure cannot improve a grade.

Grade guard and capability tests

Direct answers

Questions a careful reader should ask

What does Evidence and provenance establish?

Evidence and provenance shows how one part of the sealed assessment helps understand where conclusions come from. It establishes only what the governed evidence supports.

What does it not establish?

It does not prove complete organisational security, exploitability, breach likelihood or the absence of unobserved weaknesses.

How can I verify the conclusion?

Use the linked evidence or capability record to inspect source, observation time, target, responsibility and the condition required for closure.
