Substantive v1 Repository

ECI EVM Engineering Assurance

Claim-level evaluation of public evidence concerning the Election Commission of India EVM ecosystem, organized around traceable claims, exclusions, and validation boundaries.

Purpose

Evaluate Claims at the Level Evidence Permits

This work organizes a large public-document corpus into claims, evidence entries, review packages, and traceability records. Its purpose is assurance-oriented reasoning: identify what a public source supports, what it does not, and which exclusions constrain the conclusion.

Methodology

The repository reports approximately 900 evidence entries and 33 claim-review packages. These are repository-reported counts, not independent publication metrics.

Register source

Assign each public document an identity and evidentiary role.

Extract claim

Separate bounded statements from broader interpretation.

Map evidence

Assess supporting and limiting material together.

Record conclusion and exclusions

State findings with explicit confidence levels and scope limits.

Traceability Architecture

Evidentiary Roles & Boundaries

Source

Public documentation receives an identity and evidentiary role.

Claim

A bounded statement is separated from broader interpretation.

Review

Supporting and limiting material is assessed together.

Exclusion

Firmware, source code, hardware teardown, and live election audit remain outside scope.

Publication State & Exclusions

The public repository is substantive implementation and documentation evidence. It states that an SSRN submission is under editorial review; this portfolio record does not convert that repository claim into a confirmed posting or publication. Firmware, source code, hardware teardown, and live election audit are excluded.
