Normalize

One event language.

Convert provider observations into time-stamped shipment and customs events, with provenance attached.

observation → normalized event
03
Evaluate

Let the agreement decide.

Versioned rules compare the evidence with accepted responsibilities. Missing or conflicting facts remain visible.
