How it works
Sources to certificates
Backhelm operates a single spine: connect authoritative sources, store immutable memory, evaluate claims at read time, and deliver attested artifacts. No recommendations. No exploratory analytics.
Sources
Shopify, Stripe Connect, and Meta connect once. Commerce facts enter memory. Meta stays comparative.
Memory
Private Economic Memory stores immutable evidence events — append-only, org-scoped, compounding over time.
Claims
Interpretation evaluates which economic claims evidence supports, rejects, or leaves insufficient.
Certificates
Attested artifacts — fingerprint, monthly statements, exception memos — leadership can rely on under scrutiny.
Traceability
Show me why
Every verdict can be challenged. Backhelm answers with claim, evidence summary, and source trail — progressively, without narrative spin. Unsupported claims use the same layout as supported ones. Verdict color carries meaning. Alarm styling does not.
Claim excerpt
Reported revenue reflects verified net revenue.
Supported
Verified net within 2.1% of reported gross after refunds. Evidence: Shopify paid orders, Stripe Connect charge events.
Scope
Commerce truth, comparative Meta
Shopify and Stripe Connect are authoritative commerce paths. Meta is read-only and comparative — used for platform gap claims, never positioned as optimization or attribution tooling.
