Give Casyt Evidence That Works

🧾 Formats: URLs, PDFs, DOCX, TXT, RTF 🔒 Keep control: no social security numbers or payroll data 🎯 Goal: Targeted evidence per statutory prong

Evidence tiers to prioritise

  1. Primary proof: Awards, patents, publications, major press, funded grants, regulatory clearances.
  2. Corroborating support: Metrics dashboards, keynote agendas, board appointments, leadership roles.
  3. Contextual detail: Company fact sheets, product launch summaries, project retrospectives.

Upload or link only what backs the statutory prongs you plan to argue. Casyt references each exhibit by number in generated drafts, so precision beats volume.

Link best practices

  • Use permanent URLs when possible (official press releases, government websites, academic journals).
  • Write concise labels such as “IEEE Spectrum profile on Dr. Adebayo” instead of generic titles.
  • Flag whether a link is Government or Supporting so the workspace segments them correctly.
Remember: If a link requires a login, provide a PDF screenshot or redacted export instead so reviewers can verify the content.

Upload guidance

Casyt accepts PDFs, DOC/DOCX, TXT, and RTF. Aim to keep files under 20 MB. Before uploading:

  • Redact personal identifiers (SSNs, home addresses, financial account numbers).
  • Highlight or annotate sections that demonstrate impact to shorten review time.
  • Name files descriptively: 2023_GlobalTech_Innovation_Award.pdf.

Key exhibit categories & what they prove

Major Awards or Prizes

Include awarding body, year, selection criteria, and acceptance stats. Upload the announcement and provide a supporting article if available.

Published Material About the Applicant

Collect press coverage, interviews, leadership profiles. Provide metrics like readership, syndication partners, or view counts.

Original Contributions

  • Attach patents, product launch retrospectives, major research findings.
  • Include adoption metrics, revenue impact, or real-world outcomes.

Judging & Expert Service

Upload invites or screenshots that confirm participation, plus a short summary of the event’s importance.

Scholarly Articles

Provide the final published version or link along with citation counts (Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, etc.).

How Casyt uses your evidence

  • Casyt assigns each approved item an Exhibit # and references it in AI-generated drafts.
  • The assessment engine cross-checks exhibits to highlight statutory strengths and gaps.
  • Documents stay in your workspace; only you and invited collaborators can access them.

Privacy checklist before sharing

  • ✅ Remove passport scans, birth certificates, or medical records—Casyt doesn’t need them to draft narratives.
  • ✅ Keep internal financials high-level (percentage growth, ranges) rather than raw revenue breakdowns.
  • ✅ When in doubt, summarise sensitive data as a bullet that can be supported by a letter or testimony.

Next step: tag your strongest exhibits

Once uploads and links are in Casyt, review each item in the Evidence panel. Approve the pieces that best reinforce your petition angle so the AI focuses on high-signal proof.
