Klaritee - Chain of Custody White Paper

Chain of Custody in Deterministic Intelligence Platforms

Why Display-Layer Integrity Is the Unsolved Problem in AI-Adjacent Software

A deterministic engine does not guarantee a trustworthy result if the software displaying that result cannot prove what it received.

This technical white paper examines a frequently overlooked weakness in modern intelligence platforms: the gap between an engine's computed output and the information ultimately displayed to a user.

It explains why TypeScript's compile-time type checking does not validate incoming API responses at runtime, how display-layer failures can compromise findings, and why these failures carry legal, regulatory, and commercial consequences.

The paper introduces Display-Layer Chain of Custody as a technical standard for ensuring that every displayed score, verdict, and finding remains verifiably connected to the underlying engine output.
