Work and evidence
The state of the work matters.
Deployed, demonstrated, and planned are not synonyms. This section is where ExistX claims meet their evidence. Every record states what was done, by whom, when, in which environment, with what result, limitation, and public-release status.
Status definitions
Five evidence states, defined once
Every work item on this site carries exactly one of these states. The definitions are strict on purpose. Maturity language is where trust is usually lost.
- Deployed
- In use within a named operational boundary, with an approval basis stated to the extent releasable.
- Demonstrated
- Shown to work in a named test, laboratory, or representative environment — with its limitations stated.
- In Active Development
- Currently being engineered toward a defined demonstration or delivery milestone.
- Planned
- Committed future work with a defined scope, shown only when strategically useful and clearly labeled.
- Conceptual
- A taxonomy label or design concept. Not evidence that the capability currently exists.
The record model
What every evidence record states
A record that omits any of these is not published. A tool name is not evidence; a diagram is evidence only when it depicts approved actual work and is labeled accordingly.
- What was done, and the claim it supports
- Attribution: corporate, team or key-personnel, partner, or Galois research
- Date and environment, named to the extent releasable
- System boundary and method
- Result: bounded to what was actually shown
- Limitation and residual uncertainty
- Public-release status
Attribution model
Whose work a record describes
Attribution is stated on every record, because experience has owners:
Corporate
Work performed by ExistX as an organization. The only category presented as ExistX past performance.
Team and key personnel
Experience individuals bring from prior roles, labeled as team experience, never silently promoted to corporate history.
Partner
Work performed with or by partners, attributed to the partner and described only with permission.
Galois research
Research assets from the Galois-to-ExistX pipeline retain Galois attribution. Galois provides research; ExistX operationalizes.
Current records
Published records, by state
The evidence register below is the honest current answer, not a placeholder that implies more.

Discuss the evidence you need
If your evaluation needs evidence in a specific environment or against a specific property, say so. That requirement is a productive place to start a technical discussion.
