Gravity Evidence Preservation Standard v1.0

# Gravity Evidence Preservation Standard v1.0
Standard ID: GEPS-1
Status: Canonical
Maintainer: GravityBTC

## Purpose

The Gravity Evidence Preservation Standard defines how digital evidence is preserved for later verification.

Preserved evidence must include:

- evidence_id
- source description
- received_at
- preserved_at
- SHA256 hash
- preservation record
- verification record
- custody statement
- retrieval method
- status

## Preservation Requirement

Evidence preservation must separate:

1. the artifact
2. the hash
3. the verification record
4. the preservation event
5. the retrieval path

## Status Values

- preserved
- verified
- superseded
- unavailable
- revoked

## Gravity Principle

Evidence preservation is not storage alone.

Evidence preservation is structured continuity.
