+# StellaOps.Evidence.Core
+
+Unified evidence model library providing content-addressed, cryptographically verifiable evidence records for the StellaOps platform.
+
+## Overview
+
+This library defines the core evidence model that unifies all evidence types across StellaOps modules. Evidence records are:
+
+- **Content-addressed**: Each record has a deterministic ID derived from its content
+- **Cryptographically verifiable**: Records can carry signatures from their producers
+- **Linked**: Records reference their sources (subjects) and can form chains
+- **Typed**: Each record has a well-defined type for semantic clarity
+
+## Key Types
+
+### IEvidence
+
+The core evidence interface that all evidence records implement:
+
+```csharp
+public interface IEvidence
+{
+    string EvidenceId { get; }                    // Content-addressed ID
+    EvidenceType Type { get; }                    // Evidence type enum
+    string SubjectNodeId { get; }                 // What this evidence is about
+    DateTimeOffset CreatedAt { get; }             // UTC timestamp
+    IReadOnlyList<EvidenceSignature> Signatures { get; }  // Cryptographic signatures
+    EvidenceProvenance? Provenance { get; }       // Origin information
+    IReadOnlyDictionary<string, string> Properties { get; }  // Type-specific data
+}
+```
+
+### EvidenceType
+
+Enumeration of all supported evidence types:
+
+| Type | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `Unknown` | Unspecified evidence type |
+| `Sbom` | Software Bill of Materials |
+| `Vulnerability` | Vulnerability finding |
+| `Vex` | VEX statement (exploitability) |
+| `Attestation` | DSSE/in-toto attestation |
+| `PolicyDecision` | Policy evaluation result |
+| `ScanResult` | Scanner output |
+| `Provenance` | SLSA provenance |
+| `Signature` | Cryptographic signature |
+| `ProofSegment` | Proof chain segment |
+| `Exception` | Policy exception/waiver |
+| `Advisory` | Security advisory |
+| `CveMatch` | CVE to component match |
+| `ReachabilityResult` | Code reachability analysis |
+
+### EvidenceRecord
+
+The standard implementation of `IEvidence`:
+
+```csharp
+public sealed record EvidenceRecord : IEvidence
+{
+    public required string EvidenceId { get; init; }
+    public required EvidenceType Type { get; init; }
+    public required string SubjectNodeId { get; init; }
+    public required DateTimeOffset CreatedAt { get; init; }
+    public IReadOnlyList<EvidenceSignature> Signatures { get; init; } = [];
+    public EvidenceProvenance? Provenance { get; init; }
+    public IReadOnlyDictionary<string, string> Properties { get; init; } = 
+        new Dictionary<string, string>();
+}
+```
+
+## Adapters
+
+The library provides adapters to convert module-specific types to unified evidence records:
+
+| Adapter | Source Module | Source Type |
+|---------|--------------|-------------|
+| `EvidenceStatementAdapter` | Attestor | `EvidenceStatement` |
+| `ProofSegmentAdapter` | Scanner | `ProofSegment` |
+| `VexObservationAdapter` | Excititor | `VexObservation` |
+| `ExceptionApplicationAdapter` | Policy | `ExceptionApplication` |
+
+### Using Adapters
+
+```csharp
+// Convert a VEX observation to evidence records
+var adapter = new VexObservationAdapter();
+var input = new VexObservationInput
+{
+    SubjectDigest = imageDigest,
+    Upstream = new VexObservationUpstreamInput { ... },
+    Statements = new[] { ... }
+};
+var records = adapter.ToEvidence(input);
+```
+
+## Storage
+
+### IEvidenceStore
+
+Interface for evidence persistence:
+
+```csharp
+public interface IEvidenceStore
+{
+    Task<IEvidence?> GetAsync(string evidenceId, CancellationToken ct = default);
+    Task<IReadOnlyList<IEvidence>> GetBySubjectAsync(string subjectNodeId, CancellationToken ct = default);
+    Task<IReadOnlyList<IEvidence>> GetByTypeAsync(EvidenceType type, CancellationToken ct = default);
+    Task StoreAsync(IEvidence evidence, CancellationToken ct = default);
+    Task<bool> ExistsAsync(string evidenceId, CancellationToken ct = default);
+}
+```
+
+### InMemoryEvidenceStore
+
+Thread-safe in-memory implementation for testing and caching:
+
+```csharp
+var store = new InMemoryEvidenceStore();
+await store.StoreAsync(evidenceRecord);
+var retrieved = await store.GetAsync(evidenceRecord.EvidenceId);
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Creating Evidence Records
+
+```csharp
+var evidence = new EvidenceRecord
+{
+    EvidenceId = "sha256:abc123...",
+    Type = EvidenceType.Vulnerability,
+    SubjectNodeId = componentId,
+    CreatedAt = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow,
+    Signatures = new[]
+    {
+        new EvidenceSignature
+        {
+            SignerId = "scanner/grype",
+            Algorithm = "Ed25519",
+            SignatureBase64 = "...",
+            SignedAt = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow,
+            SignerType = SignerType.Tool
+        }
+    },
+    Properties = new Dictionary<string, string>
+    {
+        ["cve"] = "CVE-2024-1234",
+        ["severity"] = "HIGH",
+        ["cvss"] = "8.5"
+    }
+};
+```
+
+### Querying Evidence
+
+```csharp
+var store = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IEvidenceStore>();
+
+// Get all evidence for a specific subject
+var subjectEvidence = await store.GetBySubjectAsync(componentId);
+
+// Get all VEX statements
+var vexRecords = await store.GetByTypeAsync(EvidenceType.Vex);
+
+// Check if evidence exists
+var exists = await store.ExistsAsync(evidenceId);
+```
+
+## Integration
+
+### Dependency Injection
+
+```csharp
+services.AddSingleton<IEvidenceStore, InMemoryEvidenceStore>();
+// Or for PostgreSQL:
+// services.AddScoped<IEvidenceStore, PostgresEvidenceStore>();
+```
