Every GII release bundles everything a reviewer needs to reconstruct a published value — the Decision Impact Record, a human-readable dossier, the lineage extract, the outcome map and orientation rules, a source manifest with checksums, the score decomposition and sensitivity table, the reviewer record, version metadata, and a persistent citation. Each artifact is content-addressed; the package root hash is registered as a preregistration timestamp before outcome inspection.
Built live by @gii/release from the fictional example.
