The public question

What happened?

Incident facts, fire progression, weather, terrain, exposure, response, impacts and the current technical assessment.

The Black Box difference

How did we come to know?

Known At checkpoints, changing official values, investigation stages, superseded information, evidence strength, remaining gaps and versioned corrections.

The first Reference Grade record

EATON2025 · CALIFORNIA
REFERENCE GRADE · GOLD

Eaton Fire 2025

The Eaton record tests a demanding evidence problem: extreme nighttime spread, lost aerial intelligence, changing direction, evacuation timing, two reviews with different scopes and a cause record that evolved from Under Investigation to Undetermined and finally Electrical.

It is the visual reference implementation for the Wildfire Black Box system and the model for future record maturity.

Six modules make a record auditable

01 · FORENSIC RECONSTRUCTION

Mechanism and sequence

Reconstructs origin context, documented movement, operational constraints and alternative explanations without turning possibility into fact.

02 · KNOWN AT

No hindsight contamination

Freezes what a defined observer could document at a particular time. Later findings cannot be projected backward.

03 · EVOLUTION OF KNOWLEDGE

Facts can mature

Tracks revised area, impacts, cause and interpretation. Superseded information remains historically visible.

04 · FIRE DNA

Comparable incident profile

A fixed descriptive framework supports disciplined cross-fire comparison. Unsupported dimensions remain unknown or null.

05 · EVIDENCE & SOURCES

Trace every material claim

Observed, reported, derived and interpreted statements remain distinguishable and connected to retrievable public sources.

06 · CITE THIS RECORD

Permanent identity

Every mature record publishes its record ID, version, update state and method so research can cite a stable object.

Evidence states, not flattened certainty

A material statement cannot enter the public record as an unqualified fact. Its status changes when the evidence changes.

ObservedReportedDerivedInterpretedDisputedSupersededUnknownVersioned

TB-ECI measures evidence strength and auditability—not incident severity and not the probability that a claim is true. Cause is separated from criminal responsibility and civil liability. Repetition of one upstream statement is not treated as independent corroboration.

One canonical record, two controlled layers

Public evidence layer

Wildfire Black Box

Permanent incident pages, readable claims, public sources, evidence states, limitations, visible revisions, selected comparisons and citations.

Protected intelligence layer

Tecnobosque Core

The deeper structured knowledge asset is not published. The public record exposes enough to audit its conclusions without disclosing protected processing, internal relationships or proprietary analytical implementation.

A record built to change

New evidence updates the record. It does not erase its history.

Wildfire Black Box keeps a permanent incident identity while investigations develop, agencies revise totals and better evidence becomes available. Unknown remains a valid result; uncertainty is part of the record, not a defect to hide.
