Attestations
Attestations are statements made regarding identities, claims, records, events, qualifications, relationships, or other matters of interest.
Attestor preserves the context around those statements: who made them, what was stated, when they were made, what evidence may support them, and how they relate to trust.
Attribution
Attestations should preserve who made the statement whenever practical, supporting accountability and transparency.
FoundationalEvidence
Attestations may reference supporting evidence, source materials, records, certifications, or historical information.
ContextTrust Context
Attestations contribute information relevant to trust, but the existence of an attestation does not automatically establish truth.

Attestation Philosophy
An attestation is evidence that a statement exists. It is not proof that the statement is correct.
Attestor focuses on preserving the statement, attribution, supporting context, and relationships needed for future review.
