Let decisions cross boundaries with their evidence intact.
ODES is an open, vendor-neutral discussion draft and reference tooling for portable decision evidence. The v0.2 narrative and implementation profile keep the pder-v0.1 record schema. It gives recipients what they need to evaluate a decision; it does not decide whether they should rely on it.
A decision can reach another system or organization without its authority basis, human disposition, evidence commitments, freshness or conditions of use.
Structured decision evidence that recipients validate under their own policy, without mandatory disclosure of confidential raw evidence.
authority, machine role, human disposition, model and policy context, and evidence references.
exported content bound to explicit commitments, keeping integrity distinct from authenticity.
package validity and declared consumption conditions checked under an explicit recipient policy.
export from supported Manifest and Replay inputs through a documented field mapping.
schema, profiles, conformance material and lifecycle and reliance RFCs open for public review.
A producer exports a decision-evidence package from retained reconstruction. The recipient validates the record and its commitments, then evaluates the package under its own policy. Missing authentication or current-authority evidence stays visibly missing: package validity cannot fill those gaps, and selective disclosure is not permission to infer omitted facts.
Export one package from a reference run and evaluate it under a deliberately strict recipient policy.
Open the repository →Not a shared policy plane, blockchain requirement or certification, and not a finding that a decision is correct, lawful or suitable for reliance. It grants no execution authority. Reference compatibility is narrower than universal interoperability or standards adoption.
