Evidence, proof and selling tools for CAIN SCITT Evidence Clearinghouse

Level 1 Beginner: understand it

The SCITT Evidence Clearinghouse records signed statements (for example 'build 4812 passed its tests') in an append-only log and returns a receipt with a Merkle inclusion proof that anyone can re-check.

Think of it like this: A notary's numbered ledger: entries can be added, never quietly rewritten.

Read the full plain-English explanation: CAIN SCITT Evidence Clearinghouse, explained.

• I read the explanation above.
• I can say what it does in one sentence, without notes.

Level 2 User: see it work

Run it live: open the live demo. Before each result, guess what will happen. These are checks it must pass:

• Register 'build 4812 passed its tests': A receipt comes back (entry format v3) with the log position and Merkle root.

• I ran the live demo.
• I can explain what one of these checks shows.

Level 3 Verifier: prove it yourself

This is the skill that sets you apart: you don't have to believe us, and neither do your customers.

1. Install Python 3 if you don't have it (python.org/downloads).
2. Download the kit and unzip it.
3. Open a terminal in that folder. On Windows, click the folder's address bar, type cmd and press Enter. On a Mac, right-click the folder and choose New Terminal at Folder.
4. Run python3 verify.py (on Windows, python verify.py). It checks the seal without the internet.
5. Run python3 verify.py --live. It repeats every check from your own computer.
6. Try to cheat it: open transcript.json in a text editor, change one character, save, and run python3 verify.py again. It must now say FAIL. Unzip a fresh copy afterward.

• I ran the kit's check on my own computer.
• I changed a file and saw it fail.

Level 4 Expert: know the edges

An expert knows what a product does not do, and says it first. That is what makes a buyer trust you.

• It proves a statement was recorded and not changed; it does not prove the statement is true.
• The log is run by this deployment, not an independent operator.
• IETF SCITT is a draft; the card's conformance claim is to that draft.

You can say

• Every recorded statement has a receipt anyone can re-check.

Never say

• "Unbreakable" or "stops every attack".

Read the questions real buyers send, with honest answers: answers to buyer questions.

Level 5 Seller: put it in front of a customer

1. Copy, paste, send: the shortest route, no technical skill needed.
2. Who buys it and where to find them.
3. The sales conversation, then the offer and the close.
4. The rules: read these before your first message.
5. Selling tools with this product's evidence built in: pitch, emails, call script, objection answers, one-pager.

• I read the rules.
• I sent my first personal message.
