Clarifying: Anon, are you asking whether a "Q Proof" could be used in court for what kind of trial (used to prove what)?

Short answer: no
Admissible evidence must be relevant and authenticated. If I'm seeking to admit the non-hearsay substance of an FBI report, I need the witness. I cannot submit a copy of the report. If I'm admitting a drug testing report, I need the tech who performed the test.
[yes, some documents can be stipulated to and/or self-authenticating (such as certified court records, depositions, etc.)]
Physical evidence must have a chain of custody and be the item it purports to be.
QProofs are great for social media awareness. While (hopefully) successive prosecutions may use some of our work as useful guides, the proofs themselves would not be admissible evidence.
