AURIS publishes State of the Evidence, an honest audit of what is known about identity after service
AURIS Institute has published State of the Evidence, version 1.0, a full audit of its Master Evidence Repository setting out plainly which evidence is verified, which is not, which claim was downgraded, and which gaps remain open.
AURIS Institute has published State of the Evidence, version 1.0, dated 31 August 2026. The report is built from an audit of the AURIS Master Evidence Repository carried out on 30 August 2026, cross checked against the Master Filing Registry and the AURIS research lead pipeline.
The report does not claim the evidence base is complete. It states what is solid, what is located but not yet fully verified, what has been downgraded, and where the gaps sit. That honesty is deliberate. A repository that hides its weak points cannot be used safely by a policy audience.
The wider AURIS research programme has completed 108 interviews with people who have left a service role. A pattern of identity, then community, then purpose, then stability has been observed in 22 of those interviews. It is an emerging pattern, not a proven model, and AURIS does not present it as one.
Journalists and policy teams can read the report on the AURIS site, request the full package through the media portal, and ask AURIS to confirm the verification status of any figure before publication.
