Verify a decision

Every moderation decision on AVOID.NET is anchored to the Solana blockchain. You don't have to trust us — you can verify cryptographically that we committed to a verdict at a specific moment and have not rewritten it.

How verification works

  1. We commit. When a moderator accepts/rejects a submission, we serialize the decision into deterministic UTF-8 bytes (payload_canonical_string), hash it with SHA-256, encode the digest as base58, and write it to Solana inside an SPL Memo v2 transaction.
  2. We store the bytes. The exact bytes we hashed are stored alongside the decision in our database. Anyone can read them and recompute the hash in any language.
  3. You compare three values. Database hash, your independently-recomputed hash, and the hash inside the on-chain memo. If all three match, the decision is authentic and timestamped.
The on-chain memo format is AVOID.NET|v1|h:<b58-sha256>|d:<id>|t:<iso>

Find a signature on any investigation page's decision log, or run python -m src.verify_decision --signature <sig> for a CLI check.

Four claims are partially supported rather than fully confirmed: claim_findings[3] overstates 2022 SEC scrutiny as targeting executive-departure disclosure; claim_findings[7] and claim_findings[9] characterize Tesla's financial and stock performance as 'generally strong' without acknowledging severe 2022 declines and 2023-2024 margin compression; and claim_findings[12] lists the NHTSA investigation date as August 16 rather than the formal opening date of August 13. None of these rise to a disputed finding. Two high-priority coverage gaps — the outcome of the $56B Musk compensation package litigation through December 2025 and the December 2025 California false advertising ruling — represent material omissions that reduce the page's completeness but do not invalidate its existing claims. A score modifier of -5 reflects the overstated financial framing and coverage gaps without penalizing otherwise well-sourced content.","score_delta":-5,"sequence_num":3,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
