InkProvenance — Evidentiary documents · Live
InkProvenance /ˈiŋk-prɒv-ə-nəns/ noun.

A record that a Verified Document was drafted, not just delivered — bound to the exact file you submit.

The signature answers who signed. InkProvenance answers who wrote it.

Expert reports, declarations, IME reports, invention disclosures — the documents where authorship gets cross-examined, not assumed. InkProvenance records the drafting process while you write, on InkFolio's writing surface: session evidence accrues as counts and totals, never keystroke timing. When you finalize, you designate the exact file you will submit, and its SHA-256 fingerprint is bound into an independently timestamped record.

Where it matters

Some documents get cross-examined.

A report, a declaration, a disclosure — the writing itself is rarely the dispute. How and when it was written sometimes is.

01

An expert report gets deposed.

Opposing counsel doesn't just read the conclusion — they ask how it was reached, and when.

02

A declaration gets challenged.

§ 1746's sworn-statement form assumes the signer wrote what they're swearing to. Assumption is not evidence.

03

An invention disclosure gets dated.

Conception date is the whole dispute, in some patent fights. A file's creation date, alone, proves nothing.

InkProvenance records the drafting, not just the delivery.

Document types

The default mode is for writing. Verified Documents are for testifying.

Five scaffolds, each built around the form the document actually has to satisfy.

Document
What InkProvenance scaffolds
Expert Report (FRCP 26)
Scaffolded to the six contents the federal rule requires.
Declaration (§ 1746)
The sworn-statement form litigation runs on.
Professional Opinion Letter
Attorney opinions, appraisals, engineering sign-offs, comfort letters.
IME Report
The independent medical examination, structured for the referral questions.
Invention Disclosure
A dated record of conception, corroborated by independent timestamps.

The Composition Record Certificate renders from the anchored record — a custody ledger first, process facts second, and a plain statement of what the record does not establish.

Principles

Four rules the certificate cannot break.

01

Records process, not the verdict.

InkProvenance documents that a document was drafted on the platform, and when — not whether the underlying opinion, diagnosis, or claim is correct.

02

Bound to the exact file.

At finalization, the exact file you submit is fingerprinted (SHA-256) and bound into the anchored record — not a draft, not a later revision.

03

Independently timestamped.

Every anchor is stamped by an RFC 3161 Time-Stamp Authority operating outside InkID.

04

Built on InkFolio's writing surface.

Composition happens in Folio; InkProvenance is the evidentiary configuration of the same engine — one surface, one record.
