Evidence is a durable item used to establish execution or physical state: a receipt, photo, telemetry sample, call result, Provider record, User confirmation, or independent inspection. Evidence is input to Verification. It is not automatically proof.

​
Verification

Verification evaluates Evidence against a versioned, category-specific policy. The verifier may be automated or human, but it is independent of the same Agent invocation that proposed and executed the consequential action. Only a successful Verification transaction can create an Outcome and complete a Job. Until then:
  • a booking confirms an appointment, not the physical result;
  • a payment confirms a money event, not satisfactory work;
  • a Provider webhook is an untrusted, deduplicated hint;
  • a screenshot or model claim is Evidence, not completion.

​
Insufficient Evidence

Actual can request more Evidence or enter Recovery. Recovery preserves prior facts while it reconciles, rebooks, disputes, requests a return visit, or finds another Provider.
Public Evidence submission and retrieval endpoints are planned.
