THE ARTEFACT
The artefact records the verdict
The artefact is not a report. Not a recommendation. Not a narrative rewrite. It isolates the governing version of record at a specific moment in time.
What it is
A determinable written reference that isolates the governing version of record at a specific moment in time.
What it is not
Not a report. Not a recommendation. Not a narrative summary.
What it enables
Immediate clarity on whether escalation is technical or evidentiary — without reconstruction.
The artefact anchors the break in one reference.
No parallel archive is maintained beyond the engagement mandate.
This remains a closed note.
