The problem
Verifying a public record means contacting the office that issued it — the same office whose record is in question.
01
What is anchored
Notices, permits and registry entries.
02
When it is revealed
Anchored when issued, public from that moment.
03
Who checks it
Any citizen, without contacting the issuing office.
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.
