JYOTINT — Data Handling, Provenance & Governance Posture
JYOTINT's data-handling and governance posture: a cryptographic chain of custody (SHA-256 sealed, Bitcoin-anchored on public infrastructure before the…
Provenance is sealed before the event — and anyone can recompute it
JYOTINT's chain of custody is the headline of its government-AI posture: every advisory's exact text is SHA-256-sealed, committed to the Bitcoin blockchain via OpenTimestamps, and timestamped on public infrastructure before its forecast window — so the lineage of any claim is reconstructable from public artifacts alone with a zero-dependency verifier. That maps directly to the proposed GSA AI data-safeguarding rule's first-class provenance / lineage obligation: a government model reading a JYOTINT advisory consumes a source whose provenance is cryptographically established and independently verifiable. JYOTINT is out of scope of the GSA LLM-contractor rule — it is a read-only data source consumed by government AI, not an AI contractor. It ingests no government, client, or personal data, trains no models, and is a one-way publisher; it operates under a US legal entity (an Arizona LLC) and US jurisdiction. Sealed records are intentionally immutable (the anteriority is the point), the software bill of materials is published at /sbom.json, and the data-flow map at /data-flow.json. The unbiased-AI principles are each mapped to standing evidence. The honest ceiling is carried verbatim: the Brier is self-scored and recomputable by anyone, and JYOTINT is not a national-security go/no-go decision input. This is a descriptive disclosure of posture — not a certification, attestation, or contractual representation. The machine-readable mirror is /governance.json.
