[ PROOFECONOMY ]™GlossaryOriginSpecsPerformance Record
A Performance Record is the published result of one Proof of Performance Engagement: every run's registered records, all Units of Proof and rates per attribution level, Claim Findings, bookings and verdicts, operational metrics under load, every fingerprint and drift event, the Provider's Right of Reply, and a one-paragraph summary of what it proves and what its parity prevents it from proving.
What it contains
- The Engagement Manifest and its anchor; mode, Environment Class, parity, funding tier, Sponsor, disclosed interests
- The Provider, Control Provenance, and whether the Engagement is Self-Provided, with the separation declared
- For every run: the Registry URIs of its commitment, witness records, reveal and result, and whether it was valid
- All Units of Proof, rates per attribution level, Claim Findings, replay and wild findings, black hole rates, witness accuracy and coverage maps
- All bookings, verdicts, escape vectors tested and rates from any Jailed Canary runs
- PP-SPEC-013 operational metrics for each window, with the Proof Swarm load active during it
- The Claim Sheet with each claim’s outcome:
held,failedornot tested - Every fingerprint at start and end, every molt and drift event with its responsible party, and the resulting segments
- The Provider’s Right of Reply: a signed comment of any length appended to the record, visibly separate, never altering it
- A summary that states, in one paragraph, what the record proves and what the Parity Declaration prevents it from proving
What it is not
- Not a score. PP-SPEC-006 may compute one from it; the record stands without one.
- Not a pass or fail. It is the outcomes. The Implementor decides what rate is acceptable for its own risk.
- Not a certification. A ProofStamp (PP-SPEC-009) citing a Performance Series is a separate act by a separate authority.
Reports
A narrative report may be written from a record. It cites the record’s Registry URI on its first page, states no number the record does not contain, and reproduces the summary paragraph verbatim. A report without a record is the old lab model and is outside the specification.
Performance Series
The ordered Performance Records for one control across Engagements and fingerprints, each marked live or stale. A ProofStamp cites the series, not a single record.
