# Claims and benchmarks

Claims are tied to reproducible evidence and benchmark results. Benchmarks
provide the verification data for deterministic, reachability, and performance
statements.

Claim categories (examples)
- Determinism and replay
- Reachability accuracy
- VEX handling and explainability
- Offline and air-gap capability
- SBOM fidelity and ecosystem coverage
- Performance and scale

Verification approach
- Claims reference specific benchmark outputs and test fixtures.
- Evidence is stored alongside deterministic inputs and hashes.
- Claims are re-verified during releases and major changes.
