# Certify

> Create local evidence records for inspected BRIK64 artifacts.

`brik64 certify` creates local evidence records for generated PCD files.

```bash theme={null}
brik64 certify path/to/program.pcd
```

## When To Run

Run `brik64 certify` after generating or editing a PCD candidate and before composing it into a Polymer.

## Expected Sample Files

```text theme={null}
certificates/order_risk.core.cert.json
certificates/order_risk.extended.cert.json
```

The exact filenames can vary by release and project. Inspect the actual output paths created by your local command.

## What To Review

* Which PCD was inspected?
* Which command created the evidence file?
* Which version of the CLI ran?
* Which hash or manifest identifies the artifact?
* What scope does the output cover?

Local evidence records support review of the inspected files. They do not replace source review, release evidence or platform authorization.
