Common questions

What still needs review?

Original evidence bytes, annotations and customer rules remain in this browser. Original files are not saved to the cloud. Customer verification and approval are declarations. Mechanical results do not authenticate source facts, decide legal applicability, clear screening hits, authorize transactions, classify exports, file reports or establish total wealth.

Selected-ID arrays support the full 100-item supplied population per planned test. No statistical representativeness, operating effectiveness or independence opinion is inferred.

At most 100 task rows, 100 KB input, 300 KB result and 500 KB workspace metadata. Original files support 20 files, 10 MB each and 25 MB total. Private cloud saving retains its separate 5 MiB file and 16 MiB total limits.
