The CRAIGS Index
Record Integrity | Provable State | Reconstruction Failure
This publication examines a single question:
What can be proven about a record at the moment of consequence?
Most systems answer after the fact.
Most investigations rely on reconstruction.
Reconstruction is not proof.
It indicates loss of integrity.
