A Vera record is a description of what ran on one PC during one gaming session, published so the facts are there before anyone asks. Here is a real one, read part by part, with what each piece means, and just as carefully, what it does not.
1
It describes; it never judges.A record shows what ran. No score, no verdict, no call on a person.
2
Unfiltered and reproducible.Nothing hidden or edited, and versioned so it can be recomputed.
3
Presence is not proof.A flagged driver or a running anti-cheat is a fact about software, not an accusation.
4
It sees one machine, only.The honest boundary of what a single PC can show. Not a second computer, not intent.

What this session is
Every record is one session, captured from start to end. This one is a Game Session: Vera detected a game and recorded the whole window around it. The session id is its permanent address. The record lives there, public, for as long as the account does.
Read it asUnfiltered means every process and driver that ran is here, in full. Nothing was hidden or trimmed to look better.
Nota curated highlight reel. You are seeing the raw window.

The machine itself
The hardware and firmware Vera saw, reported raw: the OS, the processor, the graphics, and the firmware security state. The firmware row matters because some anti-cheats ask for parts of it, like Secure Boot, before they will run.
Read it asa snapshot of the PC this session actually ran on.
Nota spec sheet to judge. A faster machine is not a more honest one.
Anti-cheat and your firmware
Valorant ran in this session. Its anti-cheat, Riot Vanguard, leans on the machine's firmware: it asks for Secure Boot and TPM 2.0. This session's firmware state is in the System Profile above; the Field Guide explains what the requirement is for.What Riot Vanguard asks for, and why →

What the anti-cheat asks for
When a session's game runs an anti-cheat that asks something of the firmware, Vera says so plainly, and points to the Field Guide for what the requirement means. The machine's own firmware state is already shown, up in the System Profile.
Read it ashere is what the anti-cheat asks for, and here is the machine's state. You connect them.
Nota pass or a fail. Vera states the ask and shows the fact. It does not grade whether they match.
124 drivers (78 active)
✓ no malware · 1 on known-vulnerable list (rtcore64.sys)
4
Drivers, checked against public lists
Vera checks the drivers in the session against public lists of known-malicious and known-vulnerable drivers. Here: nothing malicious, and one driver that appears on the vulnerable list, rtcore64.sys, which ships with a popular hardware monitoring and overclocking tool that a great many people run.
Read it asa fact about software. This driver has a known weakness and it was present, recorded as evidence, in the open. What rtcore64.sys is →
Notan accusation. Presence is not proof. A vulnerable driver on a machine is no more a sign the player did something than owning a kitchen knife is.

The raw evidence
Under the summary sits the full thing: every process Vera saw, with the spans of time each was running, and every driver in the session. Intervals counts those spans, not programs, which is why the number is larger than the count of unique processes.

Nota shortlist of anything suspicious. There is no suspicious column. It is everything.

Doors to understanding
The recognizable things in a session, the games, launchers, and anti-cheats, link to their Field Guide plates, so a name you do not know is one tap from a plain explanation. The band is kept small on purpose. The record is the star; the links are a way in.
Computed by version 7 of Vera's trust model. The version is provenance, not a score: any record can be recomputed against a newer version and stays reproducible.

Versioned, reproducible
A record carries the version of the trust model that computed it. That is provenance: it means the record can be recomputed later and will come out the same. How a record is computed →
Read it asthis record is reproducible and will not quietly change.
Nota grade. Version 7 says how it was computed, not how good the session was.
A record is a description, not a verdict.
That is the whole of it. A Vera record shows what ran on one machine during one session, in full, so the facts are there before anyone asks. It never decides what they mean. That part, like reading any honest record, is yours.
