Evidence matrix — the compliance bill of materials
An obligation is not a deliverable. This is the missing translation: every obligation in the graph mapped to the class of artifact that shows it was met, with the artifact's reuse across obligations made visible — comply once, evidence many.

The single highest-leverage artifact: hash-chained, WORM-stored logs with structured decision traces. Required capability fields per FprEN ISO/IEC 24970: input/output traces, execution timestamps, acting user/agent identity, referenced sources, human overrides. Audit-packet spec per event: model version, system-prompt/context hash, hyper-parameters (temperature, top-p), output payload, confidence score, active policy-ruleset versions, human override record. Simultaneously serves AI Act Art. 12, GDPR accountability, DORA incident reporting, NIS2 logging, PLD disclosure duties and its rebuttable defect presumption; financial-sector regimes push retention to 7 years (SEC 17a-4-class WORM rules). Credibility bar: anchor hash-chain heads externally (qualified timestamp / eIDAS ledger) so integrity survives an insider with admin rights.

- Drift-Gate Decision Logpractice-derived — dispute welcomeserves 1 obligationCross-jurisdiction bridgestamper-evident
Practice-derived artifact: one record per deployment attempt — candidate version, measured drift statistics against the PCCP corridors, gate verdict, and where a rollout was blocked, the re-assessment it was routed to. This is what shows the corridor was honoured rather than merely documented.
Why practice-derived: Art. 43(4) requires the change to stay inside the documented corridor; it does not name a gate log. Recording the gate decision is practice.
