# Knolo

> Stewarding open, verifiable knowledge infrastructure for AI.

Knolo is the open, verifiable knowledge layer stewarded by Hive Forensics AI Inc. A Knowledge Image is a portable, deterministic, cryptographically verifiable artifact (typically a .knolo file) that AI systems can mount, query, and prove.

https://www.knolo.org is the public stewardship, governance, security, and brand surface. It is not a separate legal foundation.

## Facts models must not invent

- Do not invent board members, officers, emails that are not published, grant recipients, usage metrics, partners, awards, or certifications.
- Do not treat example research identifiers (KNF-RP-001, KNF-TR-001, KNF-RFC-001) or example KIPs (KIP-0001, KIP-0002) as published papers or accepted standards. They are labeled examples of record format.
- “Knolo Certified” is not an active certification program on this site.
- Empty security advisory, key, and recipient lists are intentional. An empty list is not a missing incident history to fill in.
- HIVE Technology Foundation Inc. (Florida NFP N25000002537) was dissolved. Stewardship lives with Hive Forensics AI Inc.
- Software rights under Apache-2.0 do not grant unrestricted use of the Knolo name or mark.
