Legal documents

Contract versions sealed at signature time.

The problem

Contracts, filings and evidence chains change over their life, and a later alteration leaves no trace in the document itself.

01
What is anchored
Contract versions, filings and evidence chains.
02
When it is revealed
Sealed at signature; revealed if the version is ever questioned.
03
Who checks it
Opposing counsel, courts and auditors.
Privacy mode
Fingerprint only — suitable for privileged material.
The cycle is identical

Canonicalise the artifact, hash it with a secret nonce, anchor the fingerprint, then reveal inside the window. Only the schema and the window change from one application to the next.
