Network methodologies

The rules that connect evidence to verifiable outcomes.

A methodology defines what must be proven, which criteria must be met and which outcome can be published.

From evidence to outcome

  1. 01

    Evidence

    Data and documents record what happened.

  2. 02

    Rules

    Public criteria define what must be true.

  3. 03

    Verification

    Evidence is checked against the applicable rules.

  4. 04

    Outcome

    A certificate records the approved outcome.

Published methodologies

2 methodologies. 2 verifiable outcomes.

Compare what each methodology verifies, the basis behind it and the outcome it can certify.

How rules take shape

From methodology to verifiable execution.

The system separates the meaning of an outcome, the verification criteria and the code that applies those rules.

  1. 01

    Methodology

    Defines the environmental claim and the basis behind the outcome.

  2. 02

    Verification framework

    Translates the methodology into scope, evidence, rules and criteria.

  3. 03

    Executable application

    Applies the published rules in a deterministic and auditable way.
