Data & Evidence Handling
AXIS BLUE is built as an operational evidence system. This page explains how data is captured, staged, processed, and presented.
What AXIS BLUE considers “data”
In the context of AXIS BLUE, data refers to structured and unstructured operational inputs generated during real-world execution. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Photos and visual documentation captured during visits
- Time-based visit identifiers and location context
- Submitted notes, observations, and classifications
- System-generated metadata (timestamps, device class, session state)
AXIS BLUE does not exist to collect data “for fun.” Data is captured only when it contributes to accountability, clarity, or operational intelligence.
Evidence first, interpretation second
AXIS BLUE follows a strict separation between evidence and interpretation. Evidence is captured as-is, without narrative inflation or retroactive framing.
Analysis, summaries, and reports are derived from that evidence only after capture. This preserves integrity and prevents “report-first” thinking.
Staging and time-window controls
Certain data types may be placed into a staging state before permanent retention. This allows for:
- Administrative review
- Automated acceptance after a defined time window
- Removal or correction before final storage
These controls exist to balance documentation needs with storage discipline and operational relevance.
Access models
AXIS BLUE supports multiple access paths depending on context:
- Keyholder access — temporary or limited-scope viewing via secure keys
- Account access — authenticated users with defined permissions
- Administrative access — full system control and oversight
Access is intentionally constrained. If you can see something, it’s because the system decided you should.
Retention philosophy
Data is retained only for as long as it remains operationally meaningful. AXIS BLUE is not a data hoarding exercise.
Retention rules may vary by data type, organization, or deployment context. These rules are designed to evolve as the platform matures.
What AXIS BLUE is not
- It is not a surveillance platform
- It is not a productivity spyware tool
- It is not a generic file dump
AXIS BLUE exists to reduce ambiguity, not create it.
