What the evidence shows
- Policy snapshot
- Request or document summary
- Inspectability state
- Detected classes
- Decision and reason codes
- Approval record
- Audit timeline
- Hashes and timestamps
Evidence Pack Sample
Proof, not promises.
See the structure of the evidence PalmerAI produces when requests or documents are controlled, approved, blocked, and recorded under policy. The point is not to dump raw data. The point is to show a decision record that a buyer, auditor, operator, or partner can understand quickly.
Decision evidence view
Policy version
The evidence record keeps the policy context that shaped the outcome.
Decision
Allowed, approval-required, or denied status is explicit and reviewable later.
Reason codes
Decision rationale is visible without exposing raw content by default.
Hashes
File and evidence integrity markers make the record usable in audit and assurance reviews.
Evidence orientation
Why evidence beats raw logging
Raw logs are noisy, hard to review, and often contain either too little decision context or too much risky detail. PalmerAI evidence is designed around reviewability: what entered, what policy applied, what decision was made, who approved it, and what supporting integrity markers exist.
Who this is for
- Buyers evaluating whether the governance story is real
- Auditors and security reviewers checking decision evidence
- Operators and customer admins validating approval flow
- Partners who need tenant-safe reporting without raw content leakage
Sample Structure
Policy snapshot
Tenant, use case, policy version, and the relevant document-control or request-control settings that shaped the outcome.
Entity summary
Request ID or document ID, file metadata, hashes, timestamps, and a concise safe summary of what entered the workflow.
Classification and risk
Inspectability state, extractor used, detected classes, reason codes, and confidence or deterministic signals where applicable.
Decision and approval state
Allowed, approval required, or denied, plus the linked approval record and final actor decision where relevant.

Evidence is where the governance story becomes credible.
The value is not that PalmerAI says it governs AI. The value is that it can show what entered, what happened, who decided, and which policy applied. That is what buyers, auditors, operators, and partners can actually review later.
