Crovia WEDGE

Evidence Presence Wedge for AI training transparency.

Crovia WEDGE is a minimal, non-invasive GitHub Action that answers one verifiable question:

Is there publicly auditable evidence of AI training data usage — or not?

No simulations.
No assumptions.
No legal claims.

Only presence or absence of evidence.

---

What WEDGE does

Crovia WEDGE runs inside any GitHub workflow and observes whether publicly auditable AI training evidence is present at a given location and time.

It produces a neutral observation, not an interpretation.

Possible outcomes:

• OK — auditable evidence was found
• NO — no public evidence was observable
• POINTER — absence observed, with a pointer to the observation context

WEDGE does not:

• accuse anyone
• infer intent
• score compliance
• analyze private data

It only reports what is publicly observable.

---

Why WEDGE exists

Most AI pipelines today have:

• no public evidence of training data usage
• no receipts
• no auditable trail

As a result, absence of evidence is invisible.

WEDGE makes that absence observable, recordable, and repeatable without changing how existing CI/CD pipelines work.

---

Outputs

WEDGE produces:

• a machine-readable verdict (OK / NO)
• an optional EVIDENCE.pointer.json when absence is observed
• a neutral signal suitable for:
  • CI checks
  • dashboards
  • transparency reports

When absence is observed, the pointer records where and when no public evidence was observable — without attribution or accusation.

Example usage

name: Crovia WEDGE — Evidence Presence Check

on: [push]

jobs:
  wedge:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Run Crovia WEDGE
        uses: croviatrust/crovia-wedge@v1
        with:
          mode: warn
          root: .

The workflow can optionally react to the verdict using outputs, but WEDGE itself remains neutral.

---

Using outputs in CI (optional)

WEDGE exposes outputs you can use in your workflow:

• verdict (GREEN / RED)
• reason (evidence_recorded / evidence_absent / evidence_compromised)
• primary (comma-separated)
• critical_omissions (integer)
• verdict_path (path to .crovia/verdicts/verdict_latest.json)
• pointer (present only when RED, points to EVIDENCE.pointer.json)

Example (fail only when evidence is absent):

jobs:
  wedge:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Run Crovia WEDGE
        id: wedge
        uses: croviatrust/crovia-wedge@v1
        with:
          mode: warn

      - name: Fail if evidence is absent
        if: steps.wedge.outputs.verdict == 'RED' && steps.wedge.outputs.reason == 'evidence_absent'
        run: exit 1

Philosophy

Crovia WEDGE is intentionally small.

It is not a regulator.
It is not a judge.
It is a sensor.

WEDGE tells you what exists — and lets others decide what it means.

---

Part of Crovia

WEDGE is part of the Crovia ecosystem:

• CEP Terminal — public inspection
• Open Plane / Hubble Continuum — evidence observation over time
• DSSE / Sentinel — advanced analysis (separate layers)

Each layer remains independent.
