Production check
Check a production before you serve it
A read-only audit of the set you already have. It reads the PDFs and the load file, reconciles them against each other, and tells you what a receiving party would find — before they find it.
Two ways in
- Serving a production
- You are about to send this set out. The audit checks numbering order, gaps, duplicates, page ranges, text layers and load-file reconciliation, so the mistake is found here rather than in opposing counsel's review.
- Receiving a production
- Someone sent you a set. The same checks tell you whether it loads cleanly, whether every DAT row has an image behind it, and which pages are not searchable — the questions you would otherwise answer by opening files one at a time.
Both entry modes run the same engine on the same rules. Nothing is modified: every input is hashed before and after the run, and a run that changes an input fails.
The six check families
| Family | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Bates | Are there gaps, duplicates, out-of-order numbers, or a prefix/padding change mid-set? |
| Order | Is the set numbered in the order it will be served, across every file? |
| Page ranges | Does the stated range length match the page count of the file? |
| Text layer | Which pages are scanned images with no searchable text, or still carry a stamp in the text layer? |
| Load files | Do DAT/OPT rows, images and document breaks agree with each other? |
| Families and redactions | Are BEGATTACH/ENDATTACH links intact, and is any redacted text still extractable? |
The four artifacts
- Report (PDF) — the verdict, the counts, and the first findings with file and page.
- Findings (CSV) — every finding, one row each, ready for a spreadsheet.
- Manifest (JSON) — what ran, what was found, and the hash of every input.
- Certificate (PDF) — carries the manifest SHA-256 so the two can be checked against each other later.
The verdict and the counts are free. The four artifacts unlock on payment and stay downloadable until the retention window closes.
Price, and the ceiling
$49 up to 1,000 pages and 200 files, $149 up to 10,000 pages and 2,000 files, $399 up to 50,000 pages and 10,000 files. Expedite is exactly double the tier. A re-run after a fix is $29.
A set larger than the tier you picked is refused before any charge and offered the tier that holds it. A set above 50,000 pages is refused outright: we will not sell capacity we have not measured.
What this is not
It is not a review platform, a converter or a numbering tool. It does not host your documents for a case, it does not OCR, and at launch it does not convert, stamp, renumber or generate an index — those are the fixes, and they ship with Prepare. What it does is check the set you already have, and say plainly what it found and what it did not look at.
