What this usually looks like before us

Public records carry identifiers with structure - check digits, fixed formats, parcel numbering. Docovly validates recovered numbers against those rules and withholds any that fail, so a records office never publishes an identifier that cannot verify.

How it works

Four steps, and it asks you almost nothing

The console looks at the page, says what it found and what it proposes, and does it. You never have to learn the filing system to get the benefit of it.

Step 1

Add

Filing cabinets go in a drawer at a time, assigned to a collection first.

Step 2

Look

Each record is surveyed and its seals and security print identified.

Step 3

Restore

Identifiers are recovered and validated against their own checksum rules.

Step 4

Finish

Anything that fails its check is withheld and reported, never published.

How the work is different afterwards

Survey, treatment and verification - the same three things the console shows you on every single page.

Validate, do not guess

Identifiers are checked against their own check-digit and structural rules, and a number that fails is withheld rather than delivered.

Seals as originals

Embossed and inked seals are held and composited back, never regenerated by a model.

Validate, do not guess

A number that fails its check digit never reaches the register

Public identifiers carry structure - check digits, fixed formats, parcel numbering. Recovered numbers are recomputed against those rules, and a failure is withheld in its own column rather than delivered as fact.

  • Check digits recomputed on every recovered identifier
  • Failures withheld and reported, never published
  • Embossed seals held and composited from the original
  • Guilloche and security overprint descreened, not flattened
  • Records filed into their collection as they are produced

Anything that fails its check digit does not reach the register. That single rule is why this cleared procurement.
