Scrutiny rarely arrives with context. When it does, reconstruction is not enough.
When scrutiny arrives, what will your evidence show?
Evidentia helps regulated firms and the people within them capture, preserve, and defend the reasoning behind their decisions — before anyone asks.
Founding cohort from £79/month · First 15 organisations · No setup fee
Preserved reasoning, immutable accountability chain — not after-the-fact narrative.
What we do
Governance infrastructure built in three deliberate layers
Every layer preserves governance reasoning alongside the act — yielding immutable evidence you can retrieve with decision context intact when scrutiny arrives.
01
Record the decision
Structured governance capture. Every significant decision, action, and accountability step recorded in an immutable, timestamped evidence record.
02
Preserve the reasoning
Not just what was decided — but what was considered, what was challenged, and why. The full context of how the decision was reached, preserved in the record.
03
Produce defensible evidence
When scrutiny arrives, retrieve a cryptographically verified account of decisions made. Ready in 90 seconds. Defensible because the reasoning is preserved, not reconstructed.
Before Evidentia
Emails. Memory. Fragmented records. Reconstruction under pressure. Hoping the narrative holds.
After Evidentia
A structured, immutable account of what was decided, what was considered, and who was accountable. Ready before the question is asked.
How Evidentia works
01
Set your accountability context
Evidentia builds your accountability map from your role, your framework, and your organisation's specific circumstances. Not a generic checklist — your obligations, your evidence, mapped to you.
02
Record what happened
Every decision, every step, every consideration. Recorded at the time. Cryptographically timestamped the moment you save it. Immutable. It cannot be altered. It cannot be backdated.
03
Produce the evidence
When scrutiny arrives — supervisory, contractual, civic, or professional — assemble a cryptographically verified Disclosure Pack in 90 seconds capturing preserved reasoning alongside commitments and artefacts.
What Evidentia is not
Not another compliance system.
A record of accountability.
Evidentia does not automate accountability. It preserves it — structuring governance reasoning and evidence so scrutiny meets deliberation retained in immutable records rather than improvised recall.
Immutable once recorded
Evidence entries cannot be altered or backdated after creation.
Cryptographic integrity
Every record carries a SHA-256 hash verified at the point of creation.
Structured accountability
Records capture reasoning, accountable owners, chronology — the decision context survives intact.
Export-ready records
Generate a verified Disclosure Pack when questions arise — in 90 seconds.
Accountability contexts
Where scrutiny lands on individuals
Nine frameworks. One preserved accountability narrative.
Whether your scrutiny environment is supervisory, contractual, civic, or professional — Evidentia maps obligations while preserving immutable evidence of judgement, reasoning, and ownership.
Senior Managers & Certification Regime (SMCR)
FCA supervisory context
Scrutiny moment
A supervisory visit or Skilled Persons review asks whether named individuals took reasonable steps on governance or conduct — evidence of reasoning, chronology, and accountability is expected.
What breaks today
Reasonable steps live in dispersed board papers, spreadsheets, chats, and recollection rather than one immutable accountability chain tying decisions to accountable individuals.
What Evidentia changes
Structured, immutable evidence preserves governance reasoning alongside the act — retrieval that supports defensible reconstruction when scrutiny arrives.
Estate Agent
HMRC AML / OFSI context
Scrutiny moment
HMRC inspection: a transaction is flagged — who owned the customer due diligence judgement and what rationale was contemporaneously recorded?
What breaks today
Threads in email and hallway conversation: no immutable record tying the judgement to accountable individuals or the reasoning at decision time.
What Evidentia changes
Structured, timestamped evidence records show what was considered, who was accountable, and what was decided — with cryptographic integrity preserved in the accountability chain.
Law Firm
SRA conduct context
Scrutiny moment
Conduct or AML scrutiny asks how an individual complied with overriding duties — tracing what was surfaced, weighed, and decided at the lawyer or COLP threshold.
What breaks today
Beautiful matter histories that still fracture when someone must reconstruct why a discretionary judgement was consciously taken.
What Evidentia changes
Immutable evidence binds governance acts to reasoning and ownership so decision context survives handoffs — not improvised under pressure afterward.
Letting Agent
HMRC / OFSI context
Scrutiny moment
Scrutiny after a tenancy, sanctions screening, or client-money issue pushes on who sanctioned taking the deal forward and what contemporaneous rationale exists.
What breaks today
Checklists beside incomplete logs — fragmented records that obscure who exercised judgement and why at the decisive moment.
What Evidentia changes
Preserves reasoning beside the act inside one append-only lineage so supervisors see authentic decision context.
Accountancy Practice
Professional body / HMRC context
Scrutiny moment
Inspectors spotlight specific engagements asking which principal owned escalation judgements around risk, MLRO escalation, or unusual flows.
What breaks today
Excellent working papers dispersed across engagements without durable personal accountability artefacts for discretionary calls.
What Evidentia changes
Shows who was accountable, what was surfaced, what was consciously weighed — in records ready before supervisors ask.
Independent Financial Adviser
FCA Consumer Duty context
Scrutiny moment
Portfolio reviews revisit suitability and ongoing oversight — probing how rationale for advice or remediation was surfaced and documented contemporaneously.
What breaks today
CRM notes that age poorly under collaborative models — brittle decision context crossing paraplanners and advisers.
What Evidentia changes
Captures immutable evidence of rationale and oversight so suitability judgements withstand scrutiny downstream.
Mortgage Broker
FCA supervisory context
Scrutiny moment
Thematic examinations ask what was knowingly weighed prior to suitability or arrears judgement — proving conscious governance reasoning.
What breaks today
Electronic applications without captured deliberation fragments when someone must recount why the advice fit the circumstances.
What Evidentia changes
Produces defensible reconstruction of decisions under scrutiny rather than improvised narrative months later.
Insolvency Practitioner
RPB / statutory context
Scrutiny moment
Monitoring visits trace trustee conduct across contentious valuations, creditor processes, or estate disposals demanding evidence of discretionary reasoning.
What breaks today
Case administrations rich in filings but thinner on immutable decision context owned by identifiable licenceholders.
What Evidentia changes
Chains governance acts with preserved reasoning tied to identifiable accountability — ready inside minutes.
High Value Dealer or Art Market Participant
HMRC AML context
Scrutiny moment
Enhanced due diligence enquiries ask what was surfaced about provenance or source-of-funds before completion — and whose judgement accepted residual risk.
What breaks today
Invoices alongside informal notes seldom stitch together contemporaneous rationale at the transactional edge.
What Evidentia changes
Structures immutable accountability evidence chaining deliberation context to supervisory expectations without reconstructing judgement after the sale.
