CERTISYNVERIFICATION INFRASTRUCTURE
Truce ObservatoryIndependent compliance verification Ingest live root
Operated by Certisyn, Inc. as an independent verification service for the Truce Foundation of the US and Multilateral Accountability Associates

An accountability instrument is only as independent as its evidence chain.

Certisyn operates this instrument at arm's length from the parties whose conduct it measures and from the body that publishes the findings. Every reading is drawn from a named public endpoint, every detector's state is published beside the number it produces, and the whole dataset seals to a digest anyone can recompute without trusting Certisyn.

Executive summary

What an operated instrument gives the publishing body

  • Separation. The party that measures is not the party that advocates. A finding survives the first question a foreign ministry asks, which is who produced it and what interest they hold in the answer.
  • Replay. Every reading resolves to a digest a disputing state can recompute without trusting anyone. An accusation that can be checked is a different object from an accusation that must be accepted.
  • A record that means something. A twelve-year measured series turns a window reading from a headline into a trend, and gives the next resolution a baseline to be argued against.

What is not true yet

  • Cessation of hostilities is now instrumented from the UCDP published dataset file, which needs no credential, so a reader can repeat the reading without an account. The stipulation that remains dark is public commitment and communications, and until it is connected the full five-stipulation determination stays withheld.
  • Displacement is a proxy for conduct, not a measure of it. Humanitarian funding coverage reflects donor behaviour and is never attributed to the state hosting the appeal.
  • Every annual indicator carries a 2024 reference year. Nothing on this page measures the inside of the 2026 window.
  • This is a working prototype operated for demonstration. It is not an operating index and no determination has been issued to any party.
