How it works

Understand the basic file-hash model, structured histories, and verification.

The basic idea

The browser can calculate a file hash for an exact file locally. The registry records that hash so the same file or verification code can be checked later without relying only on screenshots, emails, folders, or editable internal records. Registry records cannot be edited or removed. Updates are added as new entries.

File Record

Start with File Record when you need the simplest registry action for one exact file. After that, you can optionally add Public Reference when you want a public URL or identifier attached to the same recorded file.

Structured paths

Use Research for ongoing research projects and Audit for audit items that should collect later entries over time. Reuse the same stable key whenever later files belong to that same history.

Verification

Verification starts from the same exact file or verification code. Related Public Reference, Research, Audit, or other registry entries may appear when available.
