"Inspect the five rigorous tiers of evidence classification to prevent misleading claims of universal authenticity."
CPBC clearly distinguishes five separate tiers of evidence status. These are never interchangeable:
Data submitted and hashed in append-only storage. Does not imply independent inspection.
Artisan or workshop has cryptographically signed the declaration with their verified key.
Endorsed by GOV-NODE, KHCRF-NODE, or LAB-NODE within their documented authority.
Physical material inspection or scientific lab test (e.g. micron measurement, fiber purity) completed.
Merkle root committed to public audit trail with timestamp verification.
