Verify Everything Yourself
Every factual claim on this site can be independently verified using publicly available databases. Every page is cryptographically hashed. Here’s how.
Verify the Site Itself — BLAKE3 Hashes
Every page in this site is recorded in content-manifest.toml with a BLAKE3 hash. A root_hash covers the entire content tree — one hash to verify 30+ evidence pages have not been altered.
To verify any page:
# Clone the repository
git clone https://git.primals.eco/publicRecord/detroit.git
cd detroit
# Verify a specific file
b3sum content/network/judges/cylenthia-miller.md
# Compare against the hash in content-manifest.tomlThe repository is also mirrored at github.com/defendDetroit/publicRecord. All commits are signed.
Three Independent Surfaces
This evidence exists in three places no single entity controls:
| Surface | URL | What it contains |
|---|---|---|
| Live site | detroit.primals.eco | Rendered HTML, visualizations, evidence PDFs |
| Sovereign git | git.primals.eco | Full history, signed commits, BLAKE3 manifest |
| GitHub mirror | github.com/defendDetroit | Independent copy on Microsoft infrastructure |
If any one surface goes down, the evidence survives on the others.
