Is 97% a legal finding?
No. It is a methodological consistency figure.

What the 97% consistency record means - and what it does not mean.
Direct Answer
The DISHA 97% figure is a methodological consistency measure. It reflects the proportion of reviewed analytical findings that remained consistent with independently available source records such as government documents, audit reports, RTI replies, court filings, official correspondence and open data. It is not a court ruling or commercial certification.

How this works in DISHA v6.6 runtime
Mission to evidence pipeline
DISHA does not turn every input into truth. It turns every input into a record that can be examined.
The current runtime uses a typed mission signal. A signal can include raw text, evidence files, geospatial points, threat indicators, requested action, data-source references, sensitivity, user role, device trust, action risk and telemetry risk.
- Normalize mission into DishaSignal.
- Select governed intelligence lenses.
- Return findings, evidence, confidence and risk.
- Evaluate policy before action.
- Allow, confirm, sandbox, read-only, escalate or deny.
- Record important steps as evidence events.
What Was Reviewed
Validation reviews analytical findings against available source records. A finding must be compared, classified and left open to correction if later source material changes the record.
Finding Categories
The categories are consistent with source record, partially supported, incorrect or contradicted, and unresolved. Unresolved material should not be forced into certainty for the sake of a cleaner number.
What 97% Means
The figure describes methodological consistency inside the reviewed set. It indicates how often reviewed findings remained consistent with available records used for comparison.
What 97% Does Not Mean
It is not a court ruling, not a commercial certification, not a claim of perfect truth and not a claim that every DISHA conclusion is final.

FAQ
Questions and answers
What records are compared?
Available public records such as official documents, audit reports, RTI replies, court filings and open data.
Are unresolved findings counted as proven?
No. Unresolved findings remain outside final certainty.
Can validation change?
Yes. Better records can support, limit, contradict or resolve earlier findings.
