Export an evidence bundle for auditors
Last updated: 2026-08-16
When an examiner asks, the answer is an evidence bundle — a slice of the hash-chained ledger, verified on their machine, not yours.
1. Choose the scope
Open Evidence → Ledger and select either:
- A run — all events in that run’s range
- A date range — all events between two dates
- A graph version — all events produced by a specific version
2. Export
Click Export evidence bundle. Orkena assembles the archive: ledger slice, anchors covering the slice, public key, a readable HTML report, and verify.py.
3. Verify before you send it
On any machine with Python:
python verify.py bundle.zip
chain: 417 events verified · anchors: 3 signatures valid
RESULT: OK
4. Hand it off
Send the archive to your auditor, their examiner, or store it per retention policy. The bundle is self-contained:
- It does not call any Orkena endpoint
- It does not require Orkena to be online
- It is tamper-evident — any modification returns
FAILEDwith the exact failing event
5. A note for the auditor
The verifier is dependency-free Python from the standard library. It runs on a fresh machine with no network access. If the examiner wants to see tamper detection, alter a byte in the ledger slice and re-run — the hash mismatch identifies the exact event.
