Public explainer for the Governed Analytical Records Protocol.

GARPedia explains how analytical material moves through capture, candidate review, promotion, revision, and publication while sources, claims, fragments, evidence packs, and audit chains remain visible at every step. The protocol governs whether model-mediated content becomes durable system content at all, treating admission as a governed event rather than a side effect of editing or saving.

Schemas, validators, SDK packages, and implementation references for developers and operators live at garp.tools. This site is the public explanation of what GARP is, how the systems built on it relate to one another, and where to read further when implementation work begins.

GARPedia describes how analytical material becomes a governed record, why retrieval is treated as a separate operation from publication, and how sources, captures, fragments, claims, candidate records, and evidence packs relate to one another inside the protocol. It walks through the review actions that gate every promotion, the revision and dispute mechanisms that operate on existing records, and the withdrawal path that retires records without erasing their lineage.
