Public verification

Open a proof, inspect it, and verify what was sealed.

LegalProof should adopt the same clear posture already visible in CargoProof: the proof is not trapped inside the product. A verifier opens a public page, reads the record and retrieves the relevant artifacts.

Readable proof page PDF + JSON artifacts Signature + key Anchor material when available

What the verifier should see

A good public proof page is not only a display layer. It is the readable surface of the proof engine underneath.

Proof summary

Status, proof type, issued-at time and the context needed to understand the bundle quickly.

Artifact access

Links to the PDF, canonical JSON and the cryptographic material exposed by the deployment.

Stable cryptographic reference

Hash and Merkle-root level identifiers that allow the proof to be referenced consistently later.

Independent review posture

The page is intended for counsel, counterparties, auditors or compliance teams, not only the original sender.

What verification is designed to prove

Keep the explanation precise and careful.

What version was sealed

The proof can show the version of content or document state that was preserved in the bundle.

When the bundle was issued

The record can show the issuance time and related technical timing material captured by the flow.

What artifacts support the record

The verifier can retrieve the human-readable and machine-readable outputs instead of relying on assertions alone.

What verification does not prove by itself

The site must include this caution explicitly. It increases credibility.

Not automatic identity proof

Identity assurance depends on the workflow and any authentication or trust service actually used.

Not automatic legal qualification

A sealed bundle is not automatically a qualified electronic trust service unless that exact service and provider configuration exists.

Not a legal opinion

The proof surface supports review and evidence handling. It does not decide the legal outcome of a dispute.

Recommended wording for the site: LegalProof provides a cryptographic verification surface. Legal effect depends on the governing law, the concrete workflow, and the trust services actually used in the deployment.
