Evidence can be questioned.
Our methods should be, too.
GCHRV’s public educational Framework sets out twelve proposed institutional policy areas, including evidence handling, source protection, editorial accountability and quality review. These are standards for responsible development, not claims that every control has been fully implemented.
Define the claim
Clarify scope, timeframe, public-interest purpose, competing explanations and potential harms.
Trace the source
Document provenance, acquisition, context, limitations and genuinely independent corroboration.
Evaluate the evidence
Test media, chronology, geography, contradictions and alternative interpretations.
Record uncertainty
Assess specific claims as Verified, Partially Corroborated, Unverified, Disputed or Contradicted.
Review before release
Consider source safety, privacy, right of response, editorial review and correction pathways.
A matching SHA-256 hash demonstrates consistency of bytes relative to a recorded reference—not the truth of a claim. Repetition of one source is not independent corroboration.
