Specimens are redacted, format-only exemplars. Not client data. Not a certification. Scope-limited verification. Acceptance depends on counterparty/programme requirements.
The fileable snapshot. Forwardable. Citable. Dispute-ready.
PDFs are great for filing. Status Links keep them current. The IDA Evidence Pack is the snapshot you can put in front of someone else.
"In the real world, trust isn't a dashboard. It's what you can forward."
"Counterparties can't log into your perimeter."
"PDFs and screenshots don't prove current validity."
"Disputes happen after policies, models, and evidence change."
The IDA Evidence Pack is the snapshot; the Status Link is the live state. You need both.
"Do we rely on this right now?"
"What was true at decision time?"
One Stamp produces both.
Redacted example (format only). Values and fields vary by programme and lane.

Steps:
Output: "Filed artifact" + "contract-referenceable proof object"
Steps:
Output: "Dispute bundle" that survives time + change
Steps:
Output: "Audit trail with citable artifacts"
Steps:
Output: "Verification outside your perimeter"
→ File + rely within scope (subject to expiry)
→ Do not rely until re-verified
→ Stop relying immediately (history remains)
→ Treat as unverified; block/escalate
Stop relying immediately.
Withdrawal ≠ erasure. The append-only history is preserved. The IDA pack snapshot remains as "what was true then."
If you're relying on a withdrawn stamp, treat it as NOT VERIFIED.
Fail-closed behavior
If verification cannot be performed (timeout, unreachable, error), treat as NOT VERIFIED.
The pack proves the decision object and governance scope, not the underlying sensitive payload.
Programme-gated access available when required, logged, auditable.
"For any defined high-impact decision, Provider shall produce and maintain a Good Proof Stamp with an active Status Link and a corresponding IDA Evidence Pack. Actions taken with status NOT VERIFIED, NEEDS REFRESH, or WITHDRAWN shall be treated as unverified."
Not legal advice. Template language for legal review.
The IDA Evidence Pack is the snapshot you can put in front of someone else. File it, forward it, cite it.
