What we know.
What we do not.

A public accountability surface for every identity match, claim boundary, stale record, missing proof, and image-use decision behind this speculative prototype.

Research boundaryFocused public-source gap audit; excludes sensitive family/private records and name-only matches. A negative search result means not located in this bounded crawl—not that the record does not exist.

IDENTITY STANDARD

Name + two professional anchors

NEGATIVE FINDINGS

“Not located,” never “does not exist”

IMAGE STANDARD

Identity ≠ permission

Bounded, reproducible, correctable.

Records were admitted only when geography, employer, license, institutional role, consistent imagery, or a resolved subject-controlled account distinguished the subject from same-name people. Sensitive/private records were not collected.
