== Purpose ==<br />
This principle affirms that confidence in records grows when their accuracy and process can be checked.<br />
<br />
== Principle ==<br />
'''Verification strengthens trust.'''<br />
<br />
== Meaning ==<br />
When participants, witnesses, or lawful authorities are able to confirm that a record fairly represents what occurred, reliance on that record increases.<br />
Verification ties documentation back to responsibility.<br />
<br />
Trust is built through confirmability.<br />
<br />
== What Verification May Involve ==<br />
* Review by those present.<br />
* Confirmation by witnesses.<br />
* Comparison with original materials.<br />
* Identification of recorder and method.<br />
* Transparency about uncertainty.<br />
<br />
== Why Trust Matters ==<br />
* Communities depend on shared understanding.<br />
* Reliable records reduce conflict.<br />
* Future generations need confidence in what they inherit.<br />
* External misuse becomes harder when process is visible.<br />
<br />
== Verification vs Control ==<br />
Verification checks faithfulness. <br />
It does not transfer authority to the verifier.<br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />
* Participants confirm that minutes reflect discussion.<br />
* Audio is checked against transcript.<br />
* Names, dates, and locations are validated.<br />
* Clarifications are added after review.<br />
<br />
== If Verification Is Absent ==<br />
* Doubt increases.<br />
* Competing interpretations multiply.<br />
* Authority may be questioned.<br />
* Corrections become harder.<br />
<br />
== Safeguards ==<br />
* Provide opportunities for review.<br />
* Keep originals where possible.<br />
* Document who verified and when.<br />
* Allow challenges through lawful pathways.<br />
<br />
== Cross-references ==<br />
* [[Recording Requires Careful Attention to Accuracy]]<br />
* [[Errors Must Be Identified and Corrected]]<br />
* [[Witnessing Supports Legitimacy of Records]]<br />
* [[Accuracy and Restraint Preserve Integrity]]<br />
* [[Method Matters as Much as Content]]<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
Future development may include formal verification practices for different record types.<br />
