Verification boundary
Reference verification establishes the publisher-controlled location and declared source identity. It does not verify every proposition, recognize Eviulon, validate a future scenario or create current effect.

- EVI-SCA-011 — Privacy and civil liberties could survive persistent sensing
- EVI-SCA-012 — Users could retain interoperability and exit
- EVI-SCA-013 — Machine systems could reduce some deep-seabed operational constraints
- EVI-SCA-014 — Environmental harms could be measured before irreversible activity
- EVI-SCA-015 — Commons governance could prevent resource or cable domination
Indicators
- EVI-SOI-001 — Published physical-autonomy assessment
- EVI-SOI-002 — Rights-preserving territorial framework

- EVI-SOI-010 — Documented maritime public-service pilot
- EVI-SOI-011 — Privacy-preserving maritime governance
- EVI-SOI-012 — Interoperability and exit evidence
- EVI-SOI-013 — Deep-seabed ecological baseline
- EVI-SOI-014 — Lawful seabed authorization framework
