PieceID trust architecture · v1.0

Evidence risk is not counterfeit probability.

Every PieceID output must preserve the difference between an uploaded claim, a source-checked specification, technical readiness and a human specialist finding.

Allowed result states

One taxonomy across every tool and report.

Evidence incomplete

Required views, context or documents are missing.

Evidence sufficient for review

The pack is usable for specialist work; no object conclusion is implied.

Consistent with expected features

Scoped evidence aligns with referenced expectations.

Inconsistencies found

Specific conflicts are recorded without converting them into an automatic counterfeit verdict.

Unresolved

Evidence cannot support a responsible conclusion.

Physical inspection recommended

Remote review cannot close the material question.

01 · USER CLAIMAs supplied

Identity, ownership story, purchase channel and condition statements remain attributed to the submitter.

02 · SOURCE CHECKDocumented reference

Brand, authority or editorial sources are named and dated; marketing claims remain vendor claims.

03 · AI READINESSEvidence organization

Coverage, format and readability signals do not inspect physical construction or issue a verdict.

04 · HUMAN REVIEWScoped opinion

Reviewer identity, participation, reviewed material, limitations, disagreement and corrections must be auditable.

Expert assignment

Credentials, covered houses/models, conflicts and escalation capacity must be documented before public “expert” labeling.

High-value QA

Complex watch and jewelry cases require double review or documented escalation before stronger language.

Corrections

Reports are versioned. Material corrections preserve the prior version, reason, date and reviewer trail.

Privacy

Cases are private by default, access-key protected, deletion-capable and retained only for the disclosed period.

Commercial separation

Referral or commercial relationships cannot influence findings and must be disclosed.

Physical limits

Remote evidence cannot replace microscopy, opening a watch, material testing or in-person custody checks.
