The problem
When figures are restated, the change is easy to present as a clarification rather than a revision, because the earlier version has no fixed reference point.
01
What is anchored
Statements, disclosures and the figures behind them.
02
When it is revealed
Anchored at issue; revealed on the reporting timetable.
03
Who checks it
Auditors and regulators, against a fixed prior reference.
The cycle is identical
Canonicalise the artifact, hash it with a secret nonce, anchor the fingerprint, then reveal inside the window. Only the schema and the window change from one application to the next.

The whitepaper specifies the canonicalisation, the hash construction and the contract surface in full.
