An operation is Reconify’s durable view of one monitored reference. It answers a single question: did the required evidence for this money movement arrive in the expected order and time? Events group into an operation by flow and reference, and the flow supplies the deadlines.

​
States

An operation holds one of three states at any moment.

​
The evidence timeline

Reconify compares each received event against the flow definition and records five things about it:
  • The event ID and type.
  • When the event occurred.
  • When Reconify received it.
  • The role the evidence plays in the flow.
  • Whether later evidence superseded it.
A payment-to-wallet operation reads as a compact trace:
Each event stays immutable. The timeline explains the relationship between events, and it never rewrites one because a later event arrived.

​
Late and out-of-order evidence

Reconify stores both the event time and the received time, so evidence arriving out of order still reconstructs correctly. Evidence that arrives after the deadline explains a resolved_late finding rather than erasing the history of the breach. Next: findings.
