About the author

I'm Adeola, founder of Invoance. I've spent most of my engineering life building systems where everything is provable. Invoance is what happens when you turn that obsession into infrastructure other people can use. Most "audit trails" can be quietly edited after the fact, which makes them stories, not proof. Most people use "evidence" and "proof" interchangeably. They aren't the same thing. I write here about audit integrity, AI attestation, and the gap between documenting controls and proving outcomes.
