1. Three Phases of Empirical Validation
Phase 1 (Months 1–4): Air-Gapped Sandbox & Closed Historical Case Evaluation
Deployment of dedicated, network-isolated servers at a neutral academic host facility. Double-blind ingestion of 20 anonymized historical closed fraud dossiers provided by participating design partners. Local inference execution with zero external cloud connectivity.
Phase 2 (Months 5–10): Multi-Institutional Interoperability & ZKP Graph Testing
Evaluation of cross-institutional blind graph queries using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP), verifying how multiple financial entities can detect fan-out mule dispersion while strictly preserving banking secrecy (Credit Institutions Law Art. 142).
Phase 3 (Months 11–18): Cross-Border Digital Trade & Remittance Standards
Extension of the open specification to cross-border remittance corridors (RemitShield) and manufacturing supply chains (TradeLock), aligned with the digital trade and cybersecurity cooperation frameworks of USMCA Chapters 19 and 27.
2. Empirical Control Metrics & Cancellation Thresholds (Kill Gates)
| CONTROL METRIC | RESEARCH TARGET HYPOTHESIS | CANCELLATION THRESHOLD (KILL GATE) |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Settlement Interception Rate (VER-01) | > 95.0% | < 90.0% across historical double-blind test cases |
| Edge Verification Latency (VER-02) | < 150 ms | > 250 ms at ATM or mobile gateway nodes |
| Popular Economy False Positives (VER-03) | < 0.10% | > 0.25% in territorial civic observatory audits |
| Telemetry Isolation (Air-Gap Integrity) | 0 bytes egress | Any unauthorized outbound connection to external clouds |
