Deploying Exit Protocol

A bounded guide to reviewing authorized source records, deterministic LIBR calculations, and attorney-reviewable workpapers.

Document Extraction Review

Processing Authorized Source Documents

Transcribing fragmented PDF bank statements is a common review bottleneck. Exit Protocol attempts native PDF extraction first and can use configured OCR paths to produce candidate rows for human review.

  • Upload Discovery Files
    Navigate to the Evidence Vault and upload only a supported document you are authorized to process. Degraded or scanned pages may require configured OCR, provider consent where applicable, and manual reconciliation.
  • Integrity Reference
    Upon upload, the system records a SHA-256 integrity reference for the received bytes. A later hash comparison can detect byte changes; the hash does not authenticate origin, prove completeness, or establish legal chain of custody by itself.
  • Candidate Row Extraction
    Native PDF extraction runs first. A configured OCR path may attempt to identify candidate dates, descriptions, and amounts from scanned pages. Candidate rows are not final transactions and must be reviewed against the source page before import.
Verification Requirement
Extraction can omit, merge, duplicate, or misread rows. Review every candidate row, confirm statement coverage, and reconcile opening and closing balances before importing transactions or relying on a calculation.

Deterministic LIBR Tracing

Executing the Algorithmic Audit

The platform applies a deterministic Lowest Intermediate Balance Rule (LIBR) model to reviewed ledger rows and explicit source assumptions. The result is a reviewable calculation, not a legal conclusion; burden, characterization, and admissibility are jurisdiction- and fact-dependent.

  • Identify the Separate Property Source
    In the authenticated account workflow, select a reviewed source row only after confirming its date, amount, statement reference, and asserted source characterization. The software does not determine whether funds are legally separate property.
  • Execute the Tracing Algorithm
    Initialize the LIBR Calculator after reviewing statement coverage, row accuracy, ordering, and explicit source provenance. The selected strategy replays the reviewed ledger chronologically and records the modeled balance after each row.
  • Generate Attorney-Review Workpaper
    Once the calculation completes, export the attorney-reviewable LIBR workpaper. The output documents the selected methodology, ledger rows, provenance, assumptions, and modeled traceable balance for professional review.

Record Reconciliation

Preliminary Differences for Human Review

Reviewers may compare an authorized stated value with selected imported rows. A difference can result from scope, timing, categorization, extraction error, incomplete records, or other facts and is not proof of a false statement or misconduct.

  • Confirm Review Authority and Scope
    Use only records and comparison values you are authorized to process. Document the source, period, units, and categorization assumptions before comparing values.
  • Compare Reviewed Rows
    Compare only reviewed imported rows that fall within the documented scope. Do not treat missing statements, candidate extraction rows, or category heuristics as complete financial evidence.
  • Record a Preliminary Difference
    Record the arithmetic difference, source references, exclusions, and assumptions for professional follow-up. The comparison is not proof of perjury, intent, inaccuracy, or legal significance.

The Shadow Report

Digital eDiscovery Vulnerability Auditing

Some PDFs contain hidden text layers or metadata that remain after visual redaction. Shadow Report performs a best-effort structural review and surfaces candidate issues for manual validation.

  • Submit Redacted Production
    Upload only a document you are authorized to assess. Do not use the utility to bypass access controls, inspect privileged material without authorization, or infer that hidden text was intentionally disclosed.
  • Audit for Ghost Text & Metadata
    The system inspects PDF structure for candidate Ghost Text Layers and reads available XMP Metadata. Metadata may be missing, incorrect, or modified and does not prove authorship or alteration by itself.

Account Safety Limitations

Do Not Rely on Interface Concealment

High-conflict matters can involve coercion or device surveillance. Interface behaviors do not replace a personal safety plan, device security, counsel guidance, or emergency services.

Control Boundaries
  • Duress Password: Do not treat the alternate-login behavior as a guaranteed covert, deletion, or forensic-resistance control. A server session, browser history, network log, notification, or other device artifact may remain.
  • Quick Exit: A redirect or screen change does not erase browser history, server logs, downloaded files, notifications, or device-level evidence.
