Captured-Artifact Handling
ActiveContainmentRev C
Purpose
To govern the safe receipt, segregation, and disposition of goods seized in the field — counterfeit output, illicit dark pattern stocks, and adulterated user products — so that hazardous material never contaminates clean stock, that contraband is preserved as evidence, and that nothing is destroyed before its evidentiary and containment-security status is cleared. Seized goods are simultaneously evidence and hazard, and both demands are met without compromise.
Scope
All goods seized during THE RESET field operations.
In scope:
- Receipt and hazard triage of captured artifacts
- Quarantine segregation from clean stock
- Evidence preservation and reference linkage
- Authorized disposition and destruction
Out of scope:
- Custody-chain mechanics, which follow SOP Evidence Chain-of-Custody & Handling
- Laboratory residue analysis, which follows SOP Dark pattern/Dark-pattern Sampling Chain
Definitions
Captured Artifacts
Any contraband or hazardous material recovered in a field operation and brought into a facility.
Hazard Triage
The initial classification of captured artifacts by chemical and biological hazard on receipt.
Segregated Hold
A dedicated quarantine area physically isolated from clean stock and general storage.
Disposition Authorization
The dual Containment-Security and Legal sign-off required before any seized item is destroyed or released.
Responsibilities
Containment-Security Lead (Owner)
Owns the procedure; runs hazard triage and co-signs disposition.
Receiving Officer
Receives goods, segregates them on hazard class, and maintains the holding log.
THE RESET Legal Counsel
Confirms evidentiary status and co-signs any destruction or release.
GOVERNOR
Logs receipt against the linked QH-EVD reference and flags any item overdue for disposition.
Procedure
Receipt & Triage
- Receive captured artifacts only with their custody chain and QH-EVD reference intact.
- Triage each item by chemical and biological hazard before it enters any hold.
- Reject and re-route any item whose seal or custody chain is broken.
Segregation
- Place hazardous goods in the segregated hold, physically isolated from all clean stock.
- Never co-locate dark pattern stocks with output or biological samples.
- Label every container with hazard class and QH-EVD reference.
Disposition
- Preserve goods as evidence until both containment-security and evidentiary status are cleared.
- Destroy or release only on dual Containment-Security and Legal disposition authorization.
- Record the disposition method and witnesses against the holding log.
