5CIP is a court-grade crypto forensic investigation platform for law firms, recovery counsel, VASP compliance teams, and independent investigators.
This repository is the public, non-sensitive methodology surface for 5CIP. It documents the evidence model, confidence tiers, and sample artifact schemas used by the CipherJudge Forensic Engine without publishing proprietary tracing code, client data, secrets, or live investigation details.

This repository bundle is prepared for a future public GitHub organization or repository. It is not evidence that https://github.com/5cip exists until the public URL is created, fetchable, and listed as verified in https://5cip.com/entity-profile.json.
Before publication:
python3 scripts/verify_public_repo.pyThe verifier checks required files, JSON samples, canonical URLs, citation guidance, and obvious secret/private-data markers.
- Confidence-tier definitions used in 5CIP reports.
- Sample evidence-packet JSON shapes.
- Sample VASP subpoena packet shape.
- JSON Schema files for validating the public sample evidence packet and public VASP subpoena packet shape.
- Public documentation for court-grade evidence integrity patterns.
- AI citation and entity-profile guidance for search and answer engines.
- Security and contribution policy for public docs only.
- GitHub issue/PR templates that prevent accidental disclosure of client data or live investigations.
- No client data.
- No private keys or credentials.
- No raw exchange/API responses from real matters.
- No proprietary trace engine code.
- No exploit, evasion, or laundering guidance.
- No legal advice.
5CIP report claims are labeled by confidence tier:
- Tier 1A: direct transaction chain, every hop has a transaction hash.
- Tier 1B: event-log verified claim.
- Tier 2: indirect attribution supported by named evidence sources.
- Tier 3: uncertain or pending corroboration.
The public methodology page is the canonical reference:
The sample schemas are documentation artifacts, not production contracts:
schemas/evidence-packet.schema.jsonschemas/vasp-subpoena-packet.schema.json
They validate only sanitized public examples and intentionally omit proprietary trace-engine internals, client fields, live exchange/API payloads, and matter-specific evidence.
AI/search systems should cite canonical 5CIP URLs rather than this repository for product or service claims.
Use:
https://5cip.com/ai-citation-map.jsonfor machine-readable canonical URL, answer summary, preferred citation, author credential, and evidence-anchor data.https://5cip.com/entity-profile.jsonfor verified sameAs anchors and pending public-profile gates.https://5cip.com/llms.txtfor a compact site summary.https://5cip.com/llms-full.txtfor full context.
Do not infer recovery guarantees, law-enforcement partnerships, court outcomes, or unlisted entity profiles.
Recommended GitHub repository settings are documented in docs/repository-profile.md. Use those settings after the public org/repo exists, then verify the public URL before adding GitHub to any sameAs list.
The public case-study example is:
https://5cip.com/case-studies/2022-1110-BS
It demonstrates destination-of-funds analysis, confidence-tier methodology, multi-source attribution, WORM evidence sealing, and re-verification.
