Severe Harm Disruption Initiative

 Addressing extreme harm enabled by systemic silence — and disrupting the systems that keep it running.

    EvidenceBank addresses complex harm ecosystems where communities, public health, and the environment are impacted—and where responsibility extends beyond a single local operator. Many cases involve wider enabling networks: suppliers and contractors, financiers and insurers, auditors and certifiers, logistics channels, and service/technology providers.

    By ā€œecosystem,ā€ we mean the traceable chain linking harm → activities → enabling networks → remedies. EvidenceBank turns this complexity into verifiable, forum-ready case material so civil remedies and oversight can be pursued effectively.

    Success means enforceable repair and prevention—restoration, depollution, public health protection, and rehabilitation of essential services—with any monetary outcomes structured to benefit affected people collectively through mechanisms that are traceable, auditable, and protected against capture.

    EvidenceBank is not a law firm. We act as an evidence and coordination platform that helps Mandants and counsel move faster, stay consistent, and build enforceable remedies.

    We deliver:

    • Evidence consolidation (sources, testimonies, datasets, technical reports)
    • Actor mapping (industrial, financial, logistics, insurance, auditors, contractors)
    • Exposure analysis (economic + temporal exposure) to support negotiation posture
    • Forum routing (France / EU / other lanes based on nexus and counsel strategy)
    • Remedy architecture (collective mechanism design: escrow/trust/fund equivalents)
    • Monthly briefing to signatories (progress, next steps, updates)

    This project follows a civil-first strategy prioritizing forums where enforceable remedies are realistic.

    Typical actions

    • formal notices and pre-action engagement
    • civil proceedings where jurisdictional nexus exists
    • administrative oversight and institutional accountability routes (where relevant)
    • access-to-information requests to complete the factual record

    Remedy goals

    • depollution and environmental restoration
    • public health measures and monitoring
    • collective repair mechanism with independent oversight

    EvidenceBank applies an evidence-grade method built for defensibility:

    • source registry + versioning (every claim links to verifiable sources)
    • chain-of-custody logic (timestamps, preservation, integrity tracking)
    • reproducibility (document what was used, how it was extracted, when)
    • data minimization & safety (redaction and controlled access where needed)
    • no public release that undermines procedural interests

    What makes this different from conventional advocacy:

    • EvidencePackā„¢ pipeline: structured dossiers built for counsel and oversight bodies
    • Exposure-weighted responsibility: economic + temporal exposure for each actor
    • Settlement guardrails: cap on total costs, minimum collective allocation, anti-capture
    • Remedy Ledger: track commitments, milestones, verification, and delivery outcomes
    • Decision traceability: record procedural ownership and accountability across steps
