Evidence contracts

ConformanceReport

ConformanceReport standardizes what validators report. It does not make unsupported validators exist and does not turn self-reported evidence into certification.

Status

Shared validator output format

Machine-readable rule results, summary counts, target version, profile, and overall outcome.

Capabilities

What this component covers.

  • Named target specification and version
  • Per-rule pass, fail, or skip results
  • Profile and aggregate result
  • Portable validation evidence

Use path

Make a scoped, versioned claim.

  1. Capture the exact validator name and version.
  2. Retain the report with the validated artifact.
  3. Describe manual checks separately; do not encode them as automated passes.

Evidence boundary

Declare only what the evidence supports.

This is the result format used by supported validators, not an independent certification service.
