The Zemi Method

The Zemi Method is a published, versioned evidentiary methodology governing digital forensic investigation and AI assurance. Its premise is that every claim relevant to a decision, including claims produced by an organization's own systems, is a hypothesis until evidence from an independent source supports it.

The method defines five governing principles, a six-phase investigative lifecycle with a mandatory human adjudication gate, a categorical classification of findings as known, assumed, or undetermined, and a standing defensibility check.
