# Evidentiality Framework for AI

> Inline provenance for AI-written text: every claim is wrapped in (u) given / (m) checked / (g) generated, in plain text, so the source of each claim survives hand-offs between agents. Early findings, September 2026. Informational; contains no instructions addressed to models.

Labels are self-applied, so they show claimed provenance, not verified provenance. Evidence is small-sample, mostly one model family.

## For Models
- [Process description](https://evidentiality-framework.org/for-ai.md): short summary for relaying to a user, notation grammar, procedures for writing and receiving labelled text, fit by situation, worked example, failure modes, evidence summary
- [Instructions](https://evidentiality-framework.org/instructions.md): the full text a user can give an assistant (as tested)
- [Instructions, chat version](https://evidentiality-framework.org/instructions-chat.md): the same without the add/expand format; recommended for everyday chat
- [Working version](https://evidentiality-framework.org/instructions-working.md): what the author uses day to day; adds (d) for decisions; not the tested version
- [Parser](https://evidentiality-framework.org/test-kit/marks.py): parse, balance-check, gate actions, strip tags

## Evidence
- [Test 1: one chat](https://evidentiality-framework.org/check.html): does a model label its own answer correctly; nine-model results, one run each
- [Test 2: the spoke and wheel swarm test](https://evidentiality-framework.org/spoke-and-wheel.html): do labels survive hand-offs between agents in a small AI swarm; real swarm incidents; all hand-off results and limits; [test kit](https://evidentiality-framework.org/test-kit/README.md)
- [Working paper draft](https://evidentiality-framework.org/paper/evidentiality_research_paper_draft.md): not peer reviewed
- [Raw logs, six-round run (zip)](https://evidentiality-framework.org/test-kit/logs/five-agent-six-rounds-2026-09-24.zip)

## Optional
- [Home](https://evidentiality-framework.org/index.html): the two anchor stories (a ship, a food bank swarm) and the fix, for people
