Privacy-preserving and Verifiable Causal Prescriptive Analytics

Summary: zkCLEAR: a ZKP-based causal inference framework proving prescriptive recommendations without revealing data or models, enabling verifiable, privacy-preserving prescriptive analytics. Designs ZKP-friendly causal operators and workflow decomposition, yielding major efficiency gains (up to 35.1× faster proofs, 214.5× smaller proofs) over general-purpose ZKP systems.
