Evidence Methodology
How DISHA turns records into accountability.
DISHA converts scattered records into readable accountability for journalists, lawyers, researchers, citizens, and public authorities. The method asks what happened, which authority was responsible, what record exists, what money or public duty was involved, and what question still remains unanswered.
Layer 01
Case structure
Every case file is built as a record of responsibility, not as a loose allegation. Each file is structured by responsible authority, negligence issue, constitutional link, fund or cost issue, evidence status, source documents, unanswered questions, and official record trail.
At the human level, the reader can see what happened, who was responsible, what record supports the claim, what constitutional duty may be involved, what public cost is connected, and what answer is still missing.
Layer 02
National audit layer
The national audit layer follows public money and public authority: tax allocation, money received, money sanctioned, money used, money unexplained, and the authority that signed, certified, closed, ignored, or benefited from the record.
This connects Article 12 accountability with sanction gaps, utilisation gaps, grievance closure without resolution, missing certification, repeated negligence, and source-document trails.
Layer 03
Source archive
The source archive is the evidence backbone of DISHA. It preserves PDFs, RTI replies, CPGRAMS records, PMO grievance records, letters, emails, screenshots, audit records, financial trails, cyber evidence references, and case-wise evidence documents.
A reader should be able to open the source, compare the statement with the document, and understand what is proven, disputed, pending, or still waiting for an official answer.
Layer 04
Capability layer
DISHA connects scattered records across cases, authorities, money trails, cyber incidents, grievances, and constitutional questions. A single PDF, screenshot, RTI reply, or grievance closure may look small in isolation; DISHA places it inside a wider chain of public accountability.
In simple words: what is the record, who had responsibility, and why does it matter to public accountability?
