About Witness.
A live verified map of the world, and the record underneath it.
What Witness is.
Witness is an app where people capture what is happening where they are. Each report is geotagged and timestamped at the moment it is recorded, placed on a live map, and given a confidence reading that moves as independent evidence arrives.
The same reports become records for organizations: footage a newsroom can license, and structured events a data team can query. The person who captured a file keeps it, and when it is licensed, 70 percent goes to them.
What we are building.
A record of the present that is anchored to place and time, weighted by evidence, and owned by the people who create it. Not a feed of claims, and not a scrape of other platforms. A verified layer under everything that happens.

A border crossing closed and nobody standing at it knew why. The answer existed the whole time. It had nowhere structured to go.
