Investigations
Opens the immutable archive only. If nothing has been published, the page tells you that directly.

VESTIGIA is designed so the public record is a frozen output of a private research process, not a live view into mutable working tables.
01 Intake / Quarantine
A question, tip, rumor or hypothesis enters without becoming a fact.
02 Source Capture
Capture exact source bytes and record provenance/lineage.
03 Hash + Receipt
Recompute captured bytes and verify source receipts.
04 Durability Gate
Require an independently retrieved matching copy before evidence becomes durable.
05 Claim Decomposition
Break the inquiry into narrow testable claims.
06 Corroboration
Link claims to genuinely independent support lineages.
07 Contradiction Review
Record counterevidence, alternatives and narrowing facts.
08 Governance Classification
Classify the investigation and evidence before disclosure.
09 Sanitization Review
Remove unnecessary sensitive/source-identifying information.
10 Legal / Privacy Review
Apply legal, privacy and source-shield review.
11 Right of Reply
Record fairness/right-of-reply disposition.
12 Publication Snapshot
Freeze an immutable public package; live research remains private.
13 Monitoring
Watch for changes without mutating the published snapshot.
14 Continuity Commit
Generate a restorable .vbak and verify the independently retrieved bundle bytes.
15 Verify Restore
Open the retrieved .vbak in isolation and verify SQLite, audit chain, evidence and snapshot.
16 Closed / Versioned
Close the cycle; corrections require a new amendment cycle and snapshot.
PUBLICATION CONTRACT
What the hash actually covers.
The canonical public payload includes the title, summary, question, public claims, public supporting sources, lineage identifiers, source SHA-256 values, limitations, public review notes, supersession pointer and correction note. The public page renders that exact payload.
Hash proves byte identity, not truth.
Two publisher names do not prove independence.
Private proof cannot silently support a public factual claim.
Corrections create new snapshots; old snapshots remain immutable.
