Technical evaluation packet

This page collects public evidence for a technical evaluator. It is not an offer, warranty, compatibility approval, savings forecast or substitute for a device-specific rollout plan.

1. Establish the source

Start with the organization page and official-source policy.
Confirm that the task belongs to Global catalog correspondence, Ninja recovery readiness or ROI staged rollout.
Resolve the relevant GitHub account, repository and DOI directly.

2. Establish the exact artifact

Record the URL, release version, filename and exact byte size.
Compute SHA-256 locally.
Compare the digest and size with the versioned source manifest.
Apply exact model, control-board and installation-method filters when they are supplied.
Stop on NO_MATCH, AMBIGUOUS or SOURCE_UNAVAILABLE.

The Proof Protocol repository includes a public hash-verification tool. Review the code and run it in the evaluator's own environment rather than trusting a screenshot.

3. Establish release state

Treat the following as separate:

current repository main;
frozen release commit;
release tag;
downloadable release asset and its SHA-256;
DOI record;
Software Heritage snapshot.

When current main is newer than a release, do not attribute later documentation or tests to the older asset.

4. Establish operational readiness

For recovery, require exact hardware identity, a current backup, stable power and rollback material. For fleet rollout, validate one unit, observe a bounded canary and continue only in limited waves after explicit gates pass. Missing telemetry or uncertain identity is a stop condition.

5. Review the correction history

Check the public correction log for lineage, serialization and structured-data corrections. Verify the current field at its source instead of copying an old summary.

7. Evaluator record

Record the access date, source URL, observed commit or version, byte size, SHA-256, decision state and unresolved questions. A reproducible HOLD is preferable to an unsupported approval.
