Technical facts 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, liability, identity, or legal effect. It creates a reviewer-friendly technical packet that can help a qualified reviewer explain what a receipt claims to be, which checks ran locally, and which digital identifiers support the record. Open Verifier does not itself create the qualified-person certification or notice required for self-authentication under FRE 902(13) or 902(14).

FRE 901Supports authentication analysis by showing what the record contains and how it verifies.
FRE 902(13)May help document how an electronic verification process operated on the supplied bytes. Any required qualified-person certification and notice remain separate.
FRE 902(14)Records digital-identification facts such as hashes, signatures, public keys / DIDs, receipt IDs, and verification time. Any required qualified-person certification and notice remain separate.
E-SIGN / UETAHelps document intent, authorization, and electronic record context without claiming legal effect by itself.
AI governanceSupports review of human authorization, attached evidence, policy context, and receipt integrity.

Not legal advice

Legal effect depends on the facts, jurisdiction, implementation, process controls, forum, relevance, objections, and any required witness, certification, notice, or chain-of-custody foundation. Nothing on this site is legal advice or a legal conclusion.
