Verdict Archive

The Verdict Archive is the complete decision-review surface. It preserves current and superseded decision versions without treating every physical row as current evidence.

Scopes

Use the scope selector deliberately:

  • Active epoch — current results produced under the active corpus contract.
  • Legacy Epoch 0 — historical results retained for audit but not eligible for current learning.
  • Prior epochs — versioned historical corpora.
  • All history — every decision version and supersession marker.

Current versus history

Within an epoch, current means the latest non-superseded row for a decision identity. Earlier versions remain visible as history. A supersession marker removes an identity from current state but does not delete the prior record.

Filters

Filter by verdict, kill reason, strategy class, source, run, epoch, or free text. Old kills are useful for reviewing recurring failure modes, but a legacy kill does not automatically support an active principle.

What a row should show

  • claim and decision identifiers;
  • epoch and current/history scope;
  • verdict or routing state;
  • rationale and kill reason;
  • key deflating metrics;
  • source and run lineage;
  • human-verification status;
  • links to the receipt, report, audit, and original source when public-safe.

Common confusion

The physical row count is normally larger than the current decision count. The active-epoch count can be much smaller than both. That is expected append-only behavior.

Penrose is a falsification referee for quantitative trading claims. A verdict is evidence about survival under the referee, never a trading instruction.
