Evidence & Provenance

A quantitative result should carry its own audit trail.

LargeQuant is designed to keep important numbers attached to the data, model, execution, uncertainty, decision and software state that made them true.

The principle

The difference between a result and an assertion is evidence.

A reviewer should be able to move backwards from a published quantitative claim to the records that produced it. Where the platform signs an evidence-bearing record, the signature protects payload integrity and provenance; it does not magically prove scientific correctness.

01

Dataset lineage

Versioned schemas, sorted canonical rows, source ingestion references and content SHA-256.

02

Model protocol

The quantitative authority and model configuration used to produce the result.

03

Execution

Simulation, solver, HPC or laboratory-result ingestion record with artifact references.

04

Uncertainty

Predictive variance plus named measurement, observation, discrepancy and operational sources where applicable.

05

Decision

Constraints, required probability, reliability classification and the resulting bounded decision.

06

Reproducibility

Subject, dataset/evidence, protocols, safe configuration fingerprint, immutable release identity and code-tree hash.

07

LQBench

Domain-appropriate benchmark evidence without forcing incomparable metrics into a fake universal score.

08

Institutional provenance

Registered Ed25519 keys, signed external submissions and source-preserving provenance federation.

Cryptographic boundary

What a signature can prove — and what it cannot.

A valid signature can prove that a key signed an exact payload and that the payload has not been altered since signing.

Can prove
Payload integrity, signing-key control and cryptographic linkage.
×
Does not prove
Scientific correctness, legal institutional identity, experimental validity, plant safety or regulatory approval.
