DATATRACE
Deterministic Privacy Verification·RFC-822 / PDF / Storage Invariants

Evidence,
one layer at a time.

When corporate data-rights responses stall, deflect, or contradict, DataTrace preserves original records unmodified, deterministically verifies findings against exact text segments, and grounds actionable complaint drafts.

The Architecture of Truth

AI proposes. Evidence supports. Deterministic logic verifies. DataTrace explains. The user decides.

CONVENTIONAL AI TOOLSUNRELIABLE

Treating Hypotheses as Facts

Generic language models invent quotes, state legal compliance conclusions without checking rules, and silently turn ambiguity into false certainty. They produce allegations they cannot substantiate in formal dispute.

✕ Fabricates citation references
✕ Cannot provide cryptographic integrity
THE DATATRACE STANDARDDETERMINISTIC

Orthogonal Evidence & Logic

DataTrace treats the model strictly as a proposal generator. State transitions (UNVERIFIED → AI_INFERRED → CORROBORATED → VERIFIED → CONTRADICTED) are executed exclusively by pure TypeScript rules evaluating preserved evidence bytes.

✓ Original evidence bytes preserved via SHA-256
✓ Model citations resolved from human display IDs
✓ Fail-closed grounding blocks unbacked claims
Forensic Methodology

The 4-Tier Epistemic Ladder

Every assertion in a DataTrace case record must ascend through distinct verification gates before entering a complaint.

TIER 01PRESERVED ORIGINAL

Raw Evidence

RFC-822 emails, text-PDFs, and manual notes are buffered, hashed with SHA-256, and sealed in private case storage. Original bytes are never modified.

Invariant: Byte-Identical Hashing
TIER 02AI PROPOSAL

Candidate Extractions

Under strict user consent and privacy minimization, models propose claims, entities, and events citing human-readable display IDs (EV-101 #03).

State: AI_INFERRED
TIER 03DETERMINISM

Deterministic Rules

Pure code rules check citation validity, exact quote substrings, object/subject anchors, and hedge words. Only DIRECT claims reach VERIFIED.

State: VERIFIED / CONTRADICTED
TIER 04ACTION

Grounded Action Report

The complaint draft links assertions to verified findings. Fail-closed grounding prevents unbacked assertions from being exported.

Integrity: Fail-Closed Export
Core Capabilities

Structured Tools for Data-Rights Disputes

Designed specifically for individuals and compliance advocates navigating stall tactics, evasions, and contradictions.

01 / CORRELATION

Request-Response Matrix

Automatically maps each data-access or deletion demand to corporate replies. Unanswered requests are explicitly designated with verified timestamps and the spec-mandated standard phrasing:

"No response found in case record"

Evaluates coverage: FULL, PARTIAL, DEFLECTED, or UNCLEAR. Flags chronologically impossible responses.

02 / DETECTION

Bilateral Contradiction Engine

When an organization provides conflicting claims across separate emails (e.g. stating data was deleted, then later claiming retention), DataTrace displays both verified passages side-by-side with original citations:

Claim A (March)"All user data deleted."
Claim B (April)"Account suspended; data retained."

Mechanical contradictions resolve via normalized opposite polarity; ambiguous pairs require human confirmation.

03 / PROVENANCE

Cryptographic Hash-Chained Audit Ledger

Every file upload, extraction, state transition, and report export appends to a gap-free PostgreSQL hash chain. Tampering with any historical row breaks the cryptographic chain head.
