About NORA
NORA gives individuals audit capacity against institutional power.
Institutions — courts, agencies, hospitals, banks — operate with documentation and record-keeping infrastructure that individuals rarely have access to. When those institutions produce evidence, individuals are often unable to audit it, challenge it, or produce competing records of equivalent weight.
NORA is a cryptographic evidence platform designed to close that gap. It provides the tools to ingest, organize, attest, and publish evidence — with a verifiable chain of custody that any third party can inspect and challenge.
Platform Stack
Open Curriculum
The curriculum — Designing Falsifiable Evidence Systems — is published openly and freely accessible with no account required. 43 chapters, three role-specific learning paths (Engineer, Lawyer, Investigator), and two interactive labs. All progress is saved locally.
Licensing
Canon v0.2.0 is published under the NORA Canon Evaluation & Commentary License v1.0: source-available, open peer review. Reading, citing, and commenting are granted to all. Implementation, redistribution, ML training, and commercial use require a separate license. v0.1.1 and earlier remain MIT + CC0 irrevocably.
What NORA does not do
NORA does not provide legal advice, legal representation, or admissibility guarantees. NORA Attestations establish a cryptographic chain of custody and structured evidence record — they do not constitute legal opinions, expert testimony, or court-ready exhibits absent the involvement of qualified counsel. Consult a licensed attorney for legal questions about your matter.
