Raw evidence
Raw evidence is preserved public response material used to support and trace derived observations.
What .auDO preserves
Public source material behind an observation
Raw DNS and RDAP material is retained so selected fields and change observations can be traced back to the public response available at collection time.
Technical fields
Why it is preserved
Derived observations need an evidence trail
Why it matters
Preserved source material supports transparency, repeatability and review of how a public observation was derived.
Why source material may differ
Public responses may change, rotate, become redacted, use fallback paths or be represented differently between observations.
Interpretation limits
Raw does not mean complete
Public source material may still be unavailable, redacted or inconsistent. Preservation records what was obtained, not every private or authoritative internal fact.
