Evidence
A permanent record of every piece of advice.
What the evidence layer is.
Think of a logbook where every entry is written in permanent ink, and each page carries a short summary of the page before it. Tear out or change a page and the summaries stop matching, so everyone can tell.
That is the evidence layer, in software. Every piece of advice your firm gives is recorded and linked to everything before it, producing an audit trail that no one, including us, can quietly change.
What happens when advice is recorded
The advice is captured
Every recommendation is recorded the moment it is produced, with the context that goes with it.
It is linked to the record before it
Each new record is tied to the one before, so the history forms a single connected chain.
It is signed and sealed
The record is signed and written to storage that no one can change or delete, not even Bedrock.
It stays provable
From that moment, anyone can confirm the record is genuine and has not been altered.
Why you can trust it.
Each record depends on the one before it. Change a single record and everything after it stops matching, so tampering is caught automatically, by anyone, at any time.
Intact chain, every record checks out
Tampered chain, an altered record breaks everything after it
Record 3 was altered. Records 4 and 5 no longer match. The tampering is caught immediately and automatically.
What the record guarantees.
Permanent
Records cannot be altered, deleted or backdated once written. The record only ever grows.
Tamper-evident
Because each record is linked to the last, any change breaks the chain and is caught immediately.
Signed
Every record is digitally signed, so its authorship and integrity can be proven, not just asserted.
Independently verifiable
Anyone can confirm a record or certificate against the chain, with no Bedrock account needed. Try it →
