## SECTION 1 — VIDEO PROVENANCE ASSESSMENT
### 1.1 File Identification Record
| Field | Value | Status |
|---|---|---|
| File Name | `test-video.mov` | ✅ Present |
| File Format | MOV (MPEG-4 / QuickTime Container) | ✅ Present |
| File Type Signature | `qt` | ✅ Present |
| File Size | 2,486,555 bytes (~2.37 MB) | ✅ Present |
| Duration | 13.96 seconds (formatted: 0:13) | ✅ Present |
| Time Scale | 600 ticks/second | ✅ Present |
| Has Audio Stream | TRUE | ✅ Present |
| Has Video Stream | TRUE | ✅ Present |
| Creation Date | 2025-04-27T18:44:54.000Z | ✅ Present |
| Modification Date | 2025-04-27T18:44:56.000Z | ✅ Present |
### 1.2 Temporal Provenance Analysis
**Creation-to-Modification Delta:** 2 seconds
This 2-second delta between `creationDate` and `modificationDate` is consistent with normal container finalization behavior in QuickTime/MOV workflows (moov atom write completion, index finalization). This gap does **not** constitute an anomaly indicator under current DRI thresholds.
> **Forensic Note:** MOV/QuickTime container structure writes the `moov` atom upon file close. A sub-5-second creation-to-modification delta is a recognized artifact of this container format and is not treated as a tampering signal absent corroborating indicators.
### 1.3 Provenance Completeness Assessment
Of the 18 total provenance metadata fields evaluated, **10 fields are present and confirmed**; **8 fields are absent**. Provenance completeness rate: **55.6%**.
Critical provenance identifiers — originating device (camera make/model), creator identity (artist), and geospatial anchor (GPS coordinates) — are all absent. This materially limits the depth to which chain of custody can be authenticated in the forward direction.
**Provenance Tier Assessment:**
```

TIER 2 — Temporal Anchoring: COMPLETE ████████████ 100%
TIER 3 — Device Origin: ABSENT ░░░░░░░░░░░░ 0%
TIER 4 — Creator Identity: ABSENT ░░░░░░░░░░░░ 0%

## SECTION 2 — CHAIN OF CUSTODY AUTHENTICATION STATUS
### 2.1 Authentication Determination
**STATUS: CONDITIONAL — CANNOT FULLY AUTHENTICATE**
Chain of custody authentication for `test-video.mov` is **conditionally established** based on structural file integrity and temporal consistency. It is **not fully authenticated** due to the absence of four red-severity provenance fields that form the foundational triad of forensic video chain of custody: **device origin**, **creator identity**, and **geospatial anchoring**.
### 2.2 Authentication Factor Matrix
| Authentication Factor | Present | Weight | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| File format structural integrity | ✅ Yes | High | Positive |
| Container type signature match | ✅ Yes | Medium | Positive |
| Temporal record (creation/modification) | ✅ Yes | High | Positive |
| Dual-stream confirmation (audio + video) | ✅ Yes | Medium | Positive |
| File size consistency with duration | ✅ Yes | Medium | Positive |
| Camera device identification | ❌ No | **Critical** | **Gap** |
| Creator/artist identity | ❌ No | **Critical** | **Gap** |
| GPS geospatial anchor | ❌ No | **Critical** | **Gap** |
| Software pipeline record | ❌ No | Medium | Gap |
| Resolution/encoding record | ❌ No | Medium | Gap |
### 2.3 Custody Gap Declaration
This system formally declares a **Custody Gap** under VESTIGE-VIDEO Protocol §2.3. The absence of device-origin and creator-identity metadata means the file cannot be traced to a specific capture device or individual through metadata alone. External affidavit, device seizure records, or supplemental forensic evidence would be required to close this gap for evidentiary purposes.
---
## SECTION 3 — NSI FINDINGS (Null/Sparse Indicator Analysis)
*NSI analysis identifies absent provenance fields, assigns severity ratings, and documents the forensic impact of each gap.*
### 3.1 RED SEVERITY FINDINGS (4)
---
**NSI-001 | Artist / Creator — MISSING**
- **Severity:** 🔴 RED
- **Field Purpose:** Identifies the human or organizational entity responsible for creating the video file. Functions as the primary identity anchor in chain of custody.
- **Forensic Impact:** Without creator identity, the file cannot be attributed to a specific individual or organization through metadata. Chain of custody is broken at the origination node. Requires supplemental extrinsic evidence for attribution.
- **Evidentiary Consequence:** Admissibility challenge likely under FRE 901(a) (authentication requirement). Proponent must provide extrinsic authentication.
- **Remediation Path:** Obtain sworn affidavit from purported creator; cross-reference with device capture logs; obtain custodian declaration.
---
**NSI-002 | Camera Make — MISSING**
- **Severity:** 🔴 RED
- **Field Purpose:** Identifies the manufacturer of the capture device (e.g., Apple, Samsung, Canon). Links the file to a class of originating hardware.
- **Forensic Impact:** Cannot establish hardware provenance. Prevents cross-verification with device seizure or inventory records. Eliminates device-class consistency checking.
- **Evidentiary Consequence:** Inability to corroborate physical device chain of custody with metadata chain of custody.
- **Remediation Path:** Physical device examination by qualified forensic examiner; device IMEI/serial correlation; carrier records if applicable.
---
**NSI-003 | Camera Model — MISSING**
- **Severity:** 🔴 RED
- **Field Purpose:** Identifies the specific capture device model. Enables cross-reference with known device metadata profiles for authenticity validation.
- **Forensic Impact:** Cannot perform device-model consistency analysis. Cannot validate that encoding parameters are consistent with claimed device class. Eliminates model-level provenance anchor.
- **Evidentiary Consequence:** Same as NSI-002; compounds device provenance gap.
- **Remediation Path:** Same as NSI-002. Note that combined absence of Make and Model constitutes a compound red finding.
---
**NSI-004 | GPS Coordinates — MISSING**
- **Severity:** 🔴 RED
- **Field Purpose:** Provides geospatial anchoring of the capture event. Enables location verification and corroboration with witness statements, surveillance records, or scene documentation.
- **Forensic Impact:** Cannot geospatially anchor the file to a specific location. Time-location pairing (creation timestamp + GPS) — a standard forensic authentication technique — is unavailable.
- **Evidentiary Consequence:** Inability to independently corroborate claimed capture location through metadata. Location claims must be established entirely through extrinsic evidence.
- **Remediation Path:** Cell tower records; carrier location data; scene witness statements; corroborating surveillance footage with confirmed location metadata.
---
### 3.2 YELLOW SEVERITY FINDINGS (4)
---
**NSI-005 | Title — MISSING**
- **Severity:** 🟡 YELLOW**
- **Forensic Impact:** Descriptive field absent. Does not break chain of custody but reduces contextual provenance depth. Note: filename `test-video.mov` suggests a testing or draft context, which may be relevant to custody narrative.
- **Remediation Path:** Custodian declaration of file identity and purpose.
---
**NSI-006 | Software — MISSING**
- **Severity:** 🟡 YELLOW
- **Forensic Impact:** Software pipeline cannot be reconstructed from metadata. Cannot determine whether file was captured natively, processed through editing software, or transcoded. Absence of software field in a MOV container is atypical for standard iOS/macOS capture workflows, which typically embed QuickTime/AVFoundation identifiers. This absence warrants note but does not independently constitute a tampering indicator.
- **Remediation Path:** Binary-level container analysis for embedded software strings; examinee disclosure of production workflow.
---
**NSI-007 | Copyright — MISSING**
- **Severity:** 🟡 YELLOW
- **Forensic Impact:** Rights attribution absent. Relevant to provenance in intellectual property and commercial contexts. Chain of custody impact is secondary.
- **Remediation Path:** Rights declaration from custodian.
---
**NSI-008 | Resolution — MISSING**
- **Severity:** 🟡 YELLOW
- **Forensic Impact:** Cannot validate resolution consistency with claimed capture device class without this field. Note: Resolution should be determinable through deeper container parsing (video track headers); absence in surface metadata may indicate metadata stripping or non-standard export settings.
- **Remediation Path:** Deep container parse of video track atom headers (`tkhd`, `vmhd`); forensic container examination tool analysis.

## SECTION 4 — DRI INTEGRITY ANALYSIS (Digital Reliability Indicators)
### 4.1 DRI Finding Status
**DRI ANOMALIES DETECTED: 0**
No Digital Reliability Indicator anomalies were returned by the DRI analysis engine for `test-video.mov`. The following integrity dimensions were evaluated:
| DRI Dimension | Finding | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Temporal consistency (creation vs. modification delta) | 2-second delta — within normal MOV finalization range | ✅ CLEAR |
| Container format signature consistency | MOV/QuickTime `qt` type confirmed | ✅ CLEAR |
| File size to duration ratio | ~178 KB/second — within reasonable range for compressed video | ✅ CLEAR |
| Timescale validity | 600 ticks/second — standard QuickTime timescale value | ✅ CLEAR |
| Dual-stream declaration consistency | Audio and video streams both declared present | ✅ CLEAR |
### 4.2 DRI Interpretive Note
A clean DRI finding confirms that **no detectable integrity anomalies exist in the available metadata layer**. This finding is **constrained** by the scope of available metadata. The absence of anomalies does not constitute positive authentication; it establishes only that no indicators of post-capture modification, timestamp manipulation, or container-level inconsistency are detectable from the provided metadata set.
> **Scope Limitation:** DRI analysis is performed on metadata fields only. Pixel-level, codec-level, or content-level integrity analysis falls outside the scope of this system and has not been performed.
### 4.3 CGI Score Interpretation
**CGI Score: 14% — LOW AI-GENERATION SIGNAL**
The Computational Generation Index score of **14%** indicates a low probability of AI-generated or synthetically originated content based on metadata-layer indicators. Specific CGI scoring factors contributing to this determination are:
- Absence of known AI-platform software signatures in metadata fields
- Temporal metadata consistent with organic capture workflow
- File size and duration ratio consistent with camera-native compression profiles
- No AI-generation watermark or provenance markers detected in metadata
> **CGI Interpretive Limitation:** A 14% CGI score reflects metadata-layer analysis only. This system makes no determination regarding pixel-level synthetic generation, deepfake indicators, or generative AI content within the video stream itself. Content-level AI detection is expressly outside this system's scope.
