Validation standard
DISHA Validation and Limits
DISHA validation begins with source-backed chronology: the 2012 foundation sketch, the 2013 Bihar Council of Science & Technology record, the whitepaper and the research lineage documented on the DISHA hub.
What can be stated
- DISHA has an archived origin record and a current explanatory whitepaper.
- The research describes an evidence, memory and accountability architecture for public-interest investigation.
- The evidence inventory separates primary records from derived web copies and interpretive claims.
What should not be overstated
No performance, accuracy, deployment, adoption or detection-rate claim should be published unless the denominator, method, sample, date range and reviewer are available. Validation here is a documentation standard, not a hidden benchmark claim.
Next evidence step
The premium product path is to add a claim ledger where every DISHA output is tagged as verified record, documented allegation, assessment, unresolved question or public commentary.
