To verify a signed document:

1. Download the document and its signature record from the Observatory archive.
2. Verify with any Ed25519-compatible tool against the public key.
3. A successful verification confirms authorship and integrity.

Observations are recorded in a continuous evidence chain. Each entry references the hash of the prior entry, producing a tamper-evident sequence. Chain HEAD hash is published with each bulletin.

Where findings are presented to a regulator, auditor, court, or counterparty, this ledger serves as the independent verification reference. The Observatory responds to authentication requests addressed to hello@botconduct.org within five working days.
