Research programme

What is continuous judgement?

Reasoning provenance makes judgement traceable. Continuous judgement keeps that reasoning connected to changing evidence, assumptions and conditions over time.

Provenance is not proof

A visible reasoning chain can expose poor reasoning. It cannot guarantee good reasoning. This explainer examines what provenance does and does not establish.

Research question

Component testing versus trace-based assurance

Traditional assurance often tests components individually. Qlogue is investigating whether failures can persist in the joins between those components — particularly where evidence becomes interpretation, interpretation becomes a field, and a field becomes a decision.
