Evidence: Why Nothing in KlaritiQ Is True Without It

KlaritiQ runs on one rule: nothing is true unless it has evidence. A claim about your organization's AI readiness isn't worth anything until something-a policy document, a signed-off decision, an uploaded contract-actually backs it up. Evidence is that backing, and it's the record that everything else in KlaritiQ (scores, milestones, sign-offs) points back to.

What counts as evidence

Evidence is usually a document you upload-a data governance policy, a vendor contract, a board resolution, a security audit. When you upload a document, KlaritiQ creates two linked records: the document itself, and a separate AI-extraction record that pulls out the specific claims it supports. Both are evidence; the extraction is what actually gets cited against your readiness variables.

How evidence closes gaps

Every variable behind your ARI score sits in one of three states: proven (backed by a real document), attested (you or a colleague self-reported it, no document yet), or gap (never claimed or verified at all). Uploading the right evidence is what moves a variable from gap or attested to proven-and proven claims are the only ones that carry a real, calculated projected ARI gain, never a guessed number.

Evidence powers more than your score

The same evidence record can back a risk's mitigation plan, satisfy a Deterministically Verified Milestone's evidence gate, or get cited in a governance sign-off. Delete it, and everything downstream that pointed to it is affected too-which is why deletion isn't a single click.

Deleting evidence is a two-person control

Evidence is the one genuinely destructive action in KlaritiQ, so it isn't left to one person's judgment. Requesting deletion shows you exactly what depends on that evidence first-linked risks, blockers, milestones, and tasks-before you submit. An org admin or owner then has to approve or reject the request. The only exception: if you're already an admin or owner, there's no second person to wait on, so it soft-deletes immediately-but it still leaves the same request record behind, so the audit trail always looks the same regardless of who approved it.

You have seven days to undo it

Deleted evidence isn't gone right away. Admins can restore it for seven days after deletion, which puts the record back in place-though it won't automatically re-link every risk or task that was affected by the cascade. After seven days, the window closes and the restore option disappears.

Why this matters

Every dashboard number, every "your governance is on track" claim, every completed milestone in KlaritiQ can be traced back to a document someone actually uploaded. That's the whole point-a readiness score you can defend in a boardroom, not one you have to take on faith.
