  "description": "Machine-readable record of NIGHTBOX LLC's commitment to and progress toward independent, third-party validation of all numerical, performance, and scientific claims published across the federal compliance manifest layer. Each claim category is bound to a verification venue, a status, and a target verification window. Designed to address False Claims Act exposure (31 USC §§ 3729-3733) on self-attested numerical claims by establishing a standing chain-of-custody to independent verification artifacts.",

  "doctrine": {
    "principle": "Self-attestation is the floor, not the ceiling. Every numerical, performance, and scientific claim that appears on a NIGHTBOX LLC federal manifest is bound to (a) a reproducible artifact under the entity's control AND (b) a planned independent third-party verification venue. The verification venue is the public, unfalsifiable upgrade path — when verification completes, the manifest is updated to cite the third-party verification record.",
    "rationale": "Under 31 USC §§ 3729-3733, the False Claims Act exposes federal contractors to civil liability for materially false self-attested claims. The exposure surface scales with the size and specificity of numerical claims. Standing third-party verification commitments + reproducible internal artifacts substantially mitigate this exposure even before independent verification completes, because the entity's good-faith effort and reproducibility are documented at the time of attestation."
