See a sample production audit

The fastest way to judge this product is to read its output. The sample is a small, deliberately defective production - five files, 26 pages, ten defects planted in it - audited end to end. Download the report, the findings CSV, the manifest and the certificate, and check that the certificate's hash matches the manifest you just downloaded. It is labelled synthetic everywhere it could be mistaken for a real matter, because it is not one.

The four documents, from a synthetic set

No upload, no email, no account — so there is nothing here to delete. On a real check your files are kept for 120 minutes and then deleted automatically, whether or not you buy. The set is generated and labelled synthetic; the certificate says so, so it cannot be mistaken for a real matter once forwarded.

What is in the sample

  • Five PDFs and one load file, 26 pages, ten seeded defects and ten warnings.
  • The report, the findings CSV, the manifest and the certificate - the same four artifacts a paid audit produces.
  • A SYNTHETIC SAMPLE provenance line in the manifest and on the certificate, so the file still says what it is after it is forwarded.

Why it is synthetic, and why that is stated on the artifact

No public production with a load file was available to publish, so the sample is generated deterministically instead of borrowed. That is a limitation, not a marketing choice, and the artifact says so: a downloaded certificate can circulate without the page that explains it, and a certificate that could be mistaken for a real matter is worse than no sample at all.

Check the hash yourself

The certificate carries the SHA-256 of the manifest. Download both, hash the manifest, and compare. If the two do not match, one of them was altered after issue - which is the whole point of putting the hash on the certificate.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to give you an email address?

No. The sample downloads directly, and there is no form in front of it.

Is the sample a real court production?

No. It is a synthetic set, labelled as synthetic in the manifest and on the certificate. A real public production has not been sourced yet.

guide The 10-step production, and the 4 steps we check Producing a document set runs from collection to service in about ten steps. Four of them decide whether the set survives review: the order documents are assembled in, the Bates numbering, whether every page has a text layer, and whether the load file agrees with the images. This page walks the ten steps, marks the four we check, and is explicit about the six we do not. tool Check a PDF for production defects Upload one PDF and get a plain-language result for eight production checks: text layer, Bates gaps, duplicate Bates numbers, extractable stamp text, page size and rotation drift, redaction leakage, and whether the file opens at all. No account or email address is needed, and the uploaded file is checked in a temporary directory and discarded. policy Pricing One audit, one price, three sizes. The tier is decided by the page count and the file count of the set, the ceiling is checked before a checkout exists, and a set too large for the tier you picked is refused and offered the tier that holds it rather than audited short. The verdict and the counts are free; the report, the findings CSV, the manifest and the certificate are what you pay for.
