Source adapters
Normalize assertions without erasing native versions, ACLs, or timestamps.
Research protocol
A protocol boundary for resolving evidence across enterprise systems.
The context graph is the substrate for identity, relationship, authority, temporal, and provenance resolution; the signed artifact is the portable output.
Architecture proposal
Resolution policy
Apply explicit rules for authority, sufficiency, disclosure, and contradiction.
Artifact output
Issue interoperable manifests and bundles rather than proprietary search answers.
Current limitationThis proposal does not replace MCP, identity standards, policy languages, or source APIs.
