[[dido:99_annexes:annex-d-requirements:part-01:start|Return to Part 1 Requirements]]

===== Statement =====

[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] SHALL identify recorded information supporting a claim.

===== Source =====

Part 1, Section 13.4: Core Conceptual Element Requirements.

===== Rationale =====

Evidence provides recorded information that supports a claim made by the architecture, an implementation profile, a deployment profile, a test activity, or an operational observation. Defining Evidence as a conceptual element makes verification and audit support explicit.

This requirement preserves the role of Evidence as support for claims rather than as a substitute for the claims themselves.

===== Applies To =====

This requirement applies to Evidence references within the Conceptual Architecture.

It applies specifically to:

  * Recorded information
  * Architectural claims
  * Verification claims
  * Audit support
  * Evidence traceability

===== Verification =====

Verification SHALL confirm that Evidence identifies recorded information supporting a claim.

Verification activities include review checks confirming that:

  * Evidence references identify recorded information
  * Evidence references identify the supported claim
  * Evidence does not replace the architectural claim
  * Evidence links support traceability from claim to recorded support
