Verify Everything Yourself

Every factual claim on this site can be independently verified using publicly available databases. Every page is cryptographically hashed. Here’s how.

Verify the Site Itself — BLAKE3 Hashes

Every page in this site is recorded in content-manifest.toml with a BLAKE3 hash. A root_hash covers the entire content tree — one hash to verify 30+ evidence pages have not been altered.

To verify any page:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://git.primals.eco/publicRecord/detroit.git
cd detroit

# Verify a specific file
b3sum content/network/judges/cylenthia-miller.md

# Compare against the hash in content-manifest.toml

The repository is also mirrored at github.com/defendDetroit/publicRecord. All commits are signed.

Three Independent Surfaces

This evidence exists in three places no single entity controls:

Surface	URL	What it contains
Live site	detroit.primals.eco	Rendered HTML, visualizations, evidence PDFs
Sovereign git	git.primals.eco	Full history, signed commits, BLAKE3 manifest
GitHub mirror	github.com/defendDetroit	Independent copy on Microsoft infrastructure

If any one surface goes down, the evidence survives on the others.
