SIGMA PROOFKIT

Preserve a defined set of files and document whether their contents still match.

File packaging, integrity checks and PDF reports in one local workflow.

For project handoffs, inspection records and internal reviews: package selected files, record SHA-256 checksums, check for changes and produce readable PDF records. Core work stays on your Windows computer without a ProofKit account, subscription or evidence-upload service.

Matching hashes check file integrity against a reference; they do not prove that a claim is true or establish legal admissibility.

Start at the right level

Use only the structure the situation needs.

A focused product can help organize a narrow internal need. Connected bundles support broader workflows. If the situation requires outside review or tailored analysis, start with a non-sensitive conversation instead.
