Governance reports - CosentriQ

Governance reports package a frozen brief, its evidence limits, and its decision context into a versioned PDF artifact.

Draft and final reports

A draft can be generated from an unconfirmed brief and carries a visible draft notice.
A final report requires a confirmed brief.
A draft cannot be published as a final artifact.

Each artifact records the brief id and version it represents. Generating a newer brief does not change an existing report.

Delivery history

CiCi keeps artifact creation separate from distribution and observed retrieval.

Status	What CiCi observed
Generated only	The report exists; no publication, handoff, or retrieval has been recorded
Published, not retrieved	Publication was recorded; recipient retrieval was not
Shared out of band, not confirmed	A handoff was recorded; CiCi observed no access
Retrieved by recipient	CiCi served and verified the report bytes for a recipient
Acknowledged by recipient	The recipient’s acknowledgment was recorded

Recording an out-of-band handoff does not prove that a recipient opened or read the report. CiCi reports zero observed access until retrieval is actually observed.

Download integrity

Reports are served through an authenticated route. Before serving a file, CiCi verifies the stored PDF against the artifact hash and records the retrieval. If verification or ledger recording fails, the file is not served.
