Evidence-grade is a discipline, not a camera setting. It means the frame was shot in place, never staged or recreated. The timestamp and metadata stay intact. The file moves from camera to client with as few hands on it as possible, and it moves the same day.
It also means clean ownership. A record tangled in licensing questions invites doubt about everything else. Ours transfers in full, forever, so the person who owns the story controls it.
The test is simple. If a frame needs a paragraph of explanation to be believed, it is not evidence yet.
