Mechanisms

• Chain-of-Custody Log
  • This is the logic that governs the admissibility of physical evidence in court.
• Evidence Locker
  • A single unlogged transfer, a gap between sign-out and sign-in, a seal broken without a note — any of these can shatter the chain of custody

    This sourceRequires chain-of-custody documentation to record every evidence transfer and the condition of evidence packaging.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
