Integrity checks auditors actually read

Append-only streams give integrity evidence, yet auditors still ask for plain-language chain of custody. We pair each verification utility with a short paragraph template describing who ran the check, on which branch, and what exceptions were noted.

Templates reduced back-and-forth in pilot reviews by clarifying scope: internal investigations only, no public chain claims, no silent auto-retries.

We continue to refine the wording with counsel-adjacent reviewers—not counsel itself—to keep tone precise without overpromising.
