Another scored signal.
A ranking, social alert or unaudited prediction may inform. It is not a verdict.
The first Verdict Network
Before a position, a verifiable verdict.
TrueAsset is building the contract that turns market, risk and structural evidence into explicit permission. Its target requires versioning, replay and verification outside our interface; today it remains SHADOW.
Authority: ignum-nodePublic contract v1State: SHADOW / calibration
A category defined by contract
Governance required
Schema and doctrine must be versioned before issuance.
Replay required
The same inputs must resolve to the same verdict.
Proof required
Evidence must survive outside the UI and provider.
01 · The distinction
A signal describes. A verdict commits.
Price, narrative and momentum may command attention. They do not grant risk. A Verdict Network binds evidence, vetoes, budget, invalidators and proof into one decision unit.
A decision under contract.
A typed output declaring what risk is permitted, why, under which version, and what invalidates it.
02 · The path
Evidence in. Proof out.
Evidence
Market, derivatives, on-chain, structure and auxiliary sources.
Frame
An as-of and knowledge cutoff freeze what could be known.
Gates
Freshness, coverage, integrity, crowding and doctrine can veto.
Verdict
Permission, budget, cap, reasons and invalidators.
Proof
Canonical preimage, hash, signature and ledger reference when active.
03 · Category contract
Five states. No implied permission.
States order how much risk may be considered. Radar prioritizes research; by itself it can never promote SIZE or CONVICTION.
V/00PERMISSION
BLOCKED
Evidence or a veto prevents risk from being opened.
V/01PERMISSION
WATCH_ONLY
There is a signal, but no position permission yet.
V/02PERMISSION
PROBE_ALLOWED
Only a bounded probe with explicit invalidators.
V/03PERMISSION
SIZE_ALLOWED
Risk sized within the declared budget and caps.
V/04PERMISSION
CONVICTION_ALLOWED
Highest doctrinal permission; never an automatic order.
Integrity rule
Missing evidence, stale data or failed verification may only preserve or reduce permission. Never increase it.
04 · Method
Three layers that cannot substitute for one another.
What we know
Each source retains identity, timestamp, freshness and domain. Confluence never erases provenance.
- Explicit knowledge cutoff
- Visible coverage and degradation
- Non-interchangeable sources
What we allow
Long and short resolve separately. Vetoes, budget and caps prevail over score.
- Radar ≠ tactical permission
- Fail-closed by default
- Mandatory invalidators
What we can prove
The target contract binds schema, doctrine, canonical preimage, hash and signature for independent replay.
- Versioned before issuance
- Queryable hash
- Append-only ledger target
05 · Proof state
SHADOW means not promoted yet.
The Public Ledger is active and retains signed alerts with outcomes, misses included. Category contract v1 remains a separate SHADOW surface: legacy records are not presented as conformant until replay, schema and promotion gates pass.
Deterministic replayREQUIRED
Promotion target: 100 frozen-preimage replays; not claimed as achieved.
Hard-case suiteREQUIRED
Promotion target: 28 governed edge cases; not claimed as achieved.
Signature and anchoringSHADOW
The public demo is deliberately NOT_VERIFIED and NOT_ANCHORED.
Forward trackingPENDING
Historical cases are not mixed with a prospective track record.
06 · Public surface
We do not ask you to trust the interface.
The contract and an explicitly unverified fixture are open to inspection. SHADOW is evidence, not decoration.
Structural contract
Fields, types, enums and minimum verdict v1 relationships.
Open spec ↗SHADOW example
A research object with no valid signature or production anchor.
Open demo ↗Public rules
Permission, degradation and state-promotion invariants.
Open doctrine ↗07 · Sovereignty
Authority stays on the node.
Delivery and compute are separate layers. Cloudflare publishes; ignum-node retains execution and state authority.
ignum-node
Next.js runtime and TrueAsset services remain under first-party operational control.
Public Ledger v0.1
Signed records and public outcomes today; promotion to category contract v1 requires explicit gates.
Cloudflare Tunnel
Edge transport. It does not decide, replace the ledger or become source of truth.
Governed access
Fewer signals. More accountability per decision.
No public tariff is currently in force. Admission is reserved for operators and teams able to evaluate the contract and its limits.
