Threat Model
What TARE helps protect against, and what it does not prove.
Custody-aware records make review easier, but no software can prove scientific truth, customer SOP compliance, or every physical-world event. This summary keeps those limits explicit.
Helps protect against
TARE helps reduce fragmented records, unattributed changes, detached evidence files, unreviewed AI drafts, and export packages that omit context reviewers need.
- Record fragmentation
- Missing operator attribution
- Detached attachments
- Unreviewed AI assistance
- Weak export context
Does not prove
TARE does not prove scientific correctness, physical chain completeness, customer SOP adherence, or regulatory compliance by itself. Those depend on workflow design, customer validation, review authority, and operating discipline.
- Scientific truth
- Complete physical custody without configured controls
- Customer validation
- Regulatory certification
- Absence of insider risk
Specific risks to review
Security reviews should cover insider/admin risk, timestamp trust, attachment tampering, prompt injection from uploaded content, AI hallucination, export verification, and customer SOP dependency.
