Just an additional note for this, there is one universal format that
everything (meaning every OS) can read and everyone can audit: PDF.
Print the Verilog, the circuit diagrams, and the PCB layout, to PDF
and anyone can audit it. Quite a number of hardware projects that
publish the equivalent of source code for the hardware do it this
way.
As long as you can show that what is described in the PDF is the same as
what is in the source code and the design. Of cource.
For layout machine comparison, I'd go with DXF instead of PDF - which is
an open-source vector format that can be read by most Gerber
editors/viewers, and is generated by all layout systems I know of:
Load the production Gerber file superimposed on a DXF file into a Gerber
Viewer, and in a minute you can visually observe any discrepancy.
