Designed for evidentiary review

Open Verifier creates a structured technical record that may support authentication, electronic process review, and governance documentation.

Legal posture matrix

Open Verifier does not decide admissibility, compliance, or liability. It creates a reviewer-friendly packet that records what a receipt claims, which checks ran locally, and which digital identifiers were present. Open Verifier does not itself create the qualified-person certification or notice required for self-authentication under FRE 902(13) or 902(14).

FRE 901Records technical facts that may support authentication analysis by showing what the file contains and which checks passed.

FRE 902(13)Records electronic process/system facts; any required qualified-person certification and notice remain separate.

FRE 902(14)Records digital-identification facts such as hashes, signatures, public key / DID, receipt ID, and verification time; certification and notice remain separate.

E-SIGN / UETARecords intent and authorization metadata carried by the electronic record without claiming legal effect by itself.

AI governanceSupports review of human-presentation evidence, attached evidence, policy context, and receipt integrity without proving organizational authority or execution.

Not legal advice

Legal effect depends on facts, jurisdiction, implementation, process controls, forum, relevance, objections, and witness/certification foundation.
