Proof Surfaces

Enterprise & Audit View

GreenCore Solutions does not ask retailers, auditors, or regulators to trust narrative claims.

Every TreeFree product is designed to connect to external proof surfaces that document material facts, test results, and regulatory context in forms that enterprise systems can ingest, reference, and audit.

This page explains where proof lives, how it is structured, and what it is not.

Why Proof Surfaces Exist

Modern retail decisions are no longer made by buyers alone.

Products are screened upstream by:


  • ERP master data systems
  • compliance and legal review
  • audit and assurance functions
  • capital and risk committees


Narrative documentation does not survive these gates.

Proof must be:


  • structured,
  • traceable,
  • externally verifiable, and
  • separable from marketing or decision authority.


Proof surfaces exist to meet this requirement.

A NEW ERA

What a Proof Surface Is

A proof surface is an external reference layer that documents verifiable product facts without asserting outcomes.


For TreeFree products, proof surfaces may include:


  • material composition references
  • laboratory performance test results
  • regulatory context and scope notes
  • product-level reference identifiers
  • immutable audit artifacts


These materials are published and accessible, but they do not decide anything.

They exist to be consumed by systems and institutions that retain final authority.

What a Proof Surface Is Not

Proof surfaces are not:


  • certifications
  • approvals
  • compliance engines
  • enforcement mechanisms
  • marketing assets


They do not issue scores, grades, or permissions.

They do not replace legal or regulatory judgment.

They provide facts — nothing more.

Separation of Authority (Core Principle)

GreenCore enforces strict separation between:


Product: The physical TreeFree material or finished hygiene product.

Proof: Externally published, machine-legible references tied to the product.

Interpretation: How a given system, retailer, or auditor understands the proof.


Decision (External)
Any approval, restriction, or classification determined downstream.



  • This separation prevents semantic collapse and protects retailers from inheriting unintended liability.

Machine-Legible by Design

Proof surfaces are structured for enterprise ingestion, not human persuasion.


They are designed to be referenced by:



  • ERP and MDG systems
  • analytics and reporting layers
  • audit and assurance workflows
  • regulatory review processes
  • This allows proof to scale across thousands of SKUs without manual handling.

Proof Without Workflow Disruption

A critical design constraint is non-interference.


Proof surfaces:



  • do not introduce new workflows,
  • do not require new platforms,
  • do not alter procurement or listing processes.
  • They attach to products without changing how products move through enterprise systems.

Public, Referenceable, Non-Authoritative

Proof surfaces connected to TreeFree products are:


  • published (not proprietary black boxes)
  • stable and referencable over time
  • accessible to independent reviewers

At the same time, they are intentionally non-authoritative.


Authority always remains with:


  • the retailer,
  • the auditor,
  • the regulator, or
  • the governing institution.

Why This Matters in Practice

For retailers and enterprise partners, proof surfaces:


  • reduce audit friction
  • shorten review cycles
  • lower legal exposure from ambiguous claims
  • prevent retroactive remediation
  • enable consistent ESG and compliance interpretation at scale


Proof is not used to persuade. It is used to clear gates quietly and repeatedly.

Relationship to the GreenCore Stack

Proof surfaces connect directly to:

  • TreeFree Core — material-level references
  • TreeFree Diaper® — finished product references
  • ECO-10060 — semantic object definition and reference layer
  • TreeFree Passport® — public DPP and evidence access where applicable

Each layer plays a distinct role.
No layer absorbs authority from another.

Summary

GreenCore Solutions does not embed proof inside marketing or claims.


Proof is published externally, structured for machines, and designed to survive audit — not debate.



Products move faster when proof is already where enterprise systems expect it to be.

TreeFree Core & PL TreeFree Diaper® Delivers: Physical. Traceability. Trust. Proof.
