Glossary
Evidence
The line of raw observation behind a finding.
What it means
Evidence is the piece of the response that caused a finding to exist: the header value as served, the URL of the map file that answered, the status code returned by a path, the name of the table that responded to the public key.
Every observed line on a ShipReady result carries one. It is not decoration. It is what lets you confirm the finding yourself in ten seconds with a browser or a single command, and it is what lets you argue when the finding is wrong.
A result without evidence asks to be trusted. A result with evidence asks to be checked. The second one is more useful to you, more useful to whoever you show it to, and considerably harder to fake.

Incidents where it mattered
No incident in the library maps to this one yet.
ShipReady is not a penetration test or a security certification. No automated check can prove an application is secure.
