Rewrite audit-ready briefing: software is not a certificate.
Some checks are pending
ci / markdown (push) Waiting to run

Open with an executive summary that HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001
are organizational programs. Verae DataCubes supply store,
communicate, timestamp, verify, and audit tools for the technical
portion only. Chapters cover transit (HPKE, visible routing), rest
(IPFS/Peergos hash-verified restore), receipts, EU Peergos
evaluations (Cure53 2019, ROS 2024), cross-blockchain timestamping,
and write-once Iceberg archive. PDF is branded with the Verae logo
top-left and Verae Inc contact in the footer; last chapters are
sourced bios for Garfinkel (FINRA CRD 5052743), Haber, and Lambert.

How to use this pack
====================
How to use this briefing
========================
1. Read :doc:`verification` so you do not over-claim Peergos audits.
2. Fill :doc:`checklist` with **your** instance evidence (ns1, keys, users).
3. Give :doc:`baa-dpa` to counsel with the data-flow from :doc:`architecture`.
4. Point auditors at live technical surfaces (do not give them private keys).
1. Read the **executive summary** aloud in the first five
minutes of any vendor, board, or auditor meeting that
touches this system. If anyone says "so we are certified,"
stop and reread Chapter 1.
2. Read **What Verae provides** so the five verbs (store,
communicate, timestamp, verify, audit) are not confused
with an ISMS, a Type II, or a HIPAA program.
3. Read the **transit**, **rest**, **receipts**, **Peergos
evaluations**, **timestamping**, and **Iceberg** chapters
in that order. They are the technical portion, in the
order an examiner usually probes: "can the wire read it,
can the disk read it, can you prove when, who looked at
the crypto, can you produce it later."
4. Fill the **checklist** with **this instance's** evidence.
Empty checkboxes are not a moral failing; they are the
work remaining.
5. Give **BAAs and DPAs** to counsel with the architecture
diagram. Do not let engineering declare a vendor "not a
BA."
6. Attach the two **public** Peergos reports as **vendor
security evaluations**, with a cover slip that says they
are not the organization's SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA
certification.
7. Point auditors at **live technical surfaces** (health,
public-key listing, Drive). Do not give them private
keys. Do not give them a story that the pentest PDF is
the Type II.
8. Keep the **biographies** at the back of the PDF for
provenance --- who built the timestamping science, who
is building the product, who architected the internet
integration and the DataCube server side --- without
substituting biography for controls.
