What is a sealed run?

A sealed run is an immutable execution package produced by an SDX process.

It contains the relevant inputs, configuration, outputs, manifests, hashes, and verification artifacts needed to reproduce or audit the evidence chain. Once sealed, the run is not edited to improve the story or adapt the result. It becomes the technical anchor for later report data, reproducibility statements, and audit review.

The sealed run separates evidence from presentation. Decision-makers may read a human-facing report, but the report remains grounded in a sealed execution package that can be inspected when required.

A sealed run is not a marketing artifact and not a flexible project folder. It is the preserved source of computational accountability. Its function is to make later claims traceable back to source-level execution, rather than relying on memory, screenshots, summaries, or uncontrolled analyst interpretation.
