The portfolio

PROOFCORE — ten layers

Build one common substrate, then configure it for each profession rather than building hundreds of disconnected applications.

1. Data Intake Layer — files, APIs, forms, interviews, media, databases, public records.
2. Provenance Layer — immutable source identity, hashes, timestamps, versioning, chain of custody.
3. Evidence Graph — entities, claims, events, documents, transactions, locations, communications, decisions.
4. Verification Layer — source checks, calculations, identity resolution, contradiction detection, missing-evidence detection.
5. Intelligence Layer — patterns, timelines, scenarios, relationship graphs, money flows.
6. Adversarial Layer — Skeptic, Prove Me Wrong, Attack This Idea, alternative hypotheses.
7. Decision Layer — knowns, unknowns, options, risks, confidence, human approval.
8. Workflow/Action Layer — profession-specific authorized actions and routing.
9. Audit Layer — who/what/when/why, AI recommendation, human decision, outcome.
10. Learning Layer — Teach Me, Test Me, Simulate, Certify/competency workflows where appropriate.

The signature verbs

Eight buttons that appear on everything. They are the interface expression of “evidence is the authority”.

Seven non-negotiables

• Evidence is the authority; AI organizes and challenges it.
• Fact, allegation, inference, hypothesis, and unknown remain visibly distinct.
• Consequential legal, financial, health, mental-health, forensic, and safety decisions retain qualified human review.
• AI must be able to say “insufficient evidence.”
• Every important recommendation should be inspectable.
• Every correction/version should be recoverable.
• Privacy and permissions are architectural, not add-ons.
