| ## 🏛️ Executive Vision | |
| **Aegis-Graph** is a decentralized framework specifically engineered to safeguard academic integrity in the age of synthetic data. While technically governed by the **Atlanta College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (ACLAS)**, it operates as a global, sovereign protocol powered by **Agentic GraphRAG**. | |
| > "In an era of synthetic data, truth must be sovereign." — ACLAS Sovereign Node Group. | |
| --- | |
| ## ⚠️ Current Status | |
| The hosted dashboard is a **non-production UI demo**. It no longer issues browser-side credential approvals; professional verification requires server-side document parsing, issuer evidence, revocation checks, and a signed audit response. | |
| --- | |
| ## 🚀 Key Features | |
| <table width="100%"> | |
| <tr> | |
| <td width="50%" valign="top"> | |
| <h4>👁️ Vision Forensics</h4> | |
| <p>Planned pixel-level and OCR-based analysis to detect AI-generated artifacts in digital credentials and transcripts.</p> | |
| </td> | |
| <td width="50%" valign="top"> | |
| <h4>🗺️ Graph Navigator</h4> | |
| <p>Institution evidence resolution using a local index plus optional ROR lookup; ROR matches are supporting evidence, not automatic credential approval.</p> | |
| </td> | |
| </tr> | |
| <tr> | |
| <td width="50%" valign="top"> | |
| <h4>⚖️ Logic Auditor</h4> | |
| <p>Evidence-weighted consistency checks for registry status, timelines, blacklist aliases, and missing credential-authenticity proof.</p> | |
| </td> | |
| <td width="50%" valign="top"> | |
| <h4>🔒 Sovereign Ledger</h4> | |
| <p>Planned cryptographically signed audit trails for reproducible, tamper-evident credential review.</p> | |
| </td> | |
| </tr> | |

| ## 🧠 The Agentic Architecture (MARS) | |
| Aegis-Graph operates via a collaborative **Multi-Agent Reasoning Swarm (MARS)**. Each agent handles a specific layer of the audit protocol, reaching consensus before issuing a final verdict. | |
| ```mermaid | |
| graph TD | |
| A[Digital Credential] --> B{MARS Swarm} | |
| B --> C[Vision Agent] | |
| B --> D[Graph Agent] | |
| B --> E[Logic Agent] | |
| C --> F[Pixel Forensics] | |
| D --> G[ROR Node Sync] | |
| E --> H[CoT Validation] | |
| F & G & H --> I[Consensus Layer] | |
| I --> J[Sovereign Audit Certificate] | |
| ``` | |
| --- | |
| ## 📊 Performance and Evaluation | |
| Production benchmark claims are not published yet. Current development focuses on eliminating browser-side approvals, normalizing graph evidence, and making audit decisions reproducible before publishing precision/latency metrics. | |
| * **Audit Precision**: pending reproducible benchmark suite | |
| * **Verification Latency**: pending server-side implementation | |
| * **Privacy Model**: local PII scrubbing prototype; ZK evidence is roadmap work | |
| * **Global Node Coverage**: local index plus optional ROR lookup | |
