How does a promise become a vote become an outcome?
Evidence Chain
Dissent Log

Provenance · Hash-chain integrity
Each verdict on Kept Word carries the same hash-chain provenance model as TruthMark: a cryptographic receipt is generated when a verdict is published, chaining the promise text, evidence URLs, verdict classification, and dissent log into a tamper-evident record. This means no verdict can be quietly revised — any change creates a new record with a new hash, and the prior version remains permanently auditable. What is a hash chain?
