The challenge
A portfolio sale required legible copies of two decades of leases, most of them faded carbon copies with heavy show-through. The buyer's solicitors would not accept scans that had been through a tool which might have altered execution pages.
The approach
- Signature, initial and notary regions held and excluded from every treatment.
- Show-through identified as mirrored geometry and subtracted per density.
- Clause numbering read back across every restored page and checked for gaps and duplicates.
- Exhibits delivered at print resolution with the text verified after upscaling.
It found a missing clause 14 in a 1987 lease that three people had already read past.
The results
- A missing clause identified in a 1987 lease that three manual reads had passed over.
- Execution pages delivered with every mark composited from the original capture.
- Restoration record supplied alongside the copies, which satisfied the buyer's solicitors.
This is an illustrative scenario rather than a named customer. It is written to show what a deployment of this shape involves, and the figures describe the pipeline’s behaviour rather than a specific organisation’s results.
