Read
- How to Prove a Document Hasn't Been Changed — A signed PDF can be edited in minutes and look identical. What a document integrity check requires — and how DocLock proves a document is unchanged.
- What Is a Digital Corporate Mark? — Logos were made for human eyes, but machines read text. What a Digital Corporate Mark is, and why {^} is one.
- Every Face on This Call Is Fake — Deepfake video-call fraud cost one firm about $25M. Why seeing is no longer believing — and how identity becomes a verifiable event, checkable offline.
- Verification That Outlives the Vendor — If your proof lives on a vendor's server, it dies with the subscription. Why real verification needs no permission — and must still work offline.
- What Is an AI Index Page? — AI assistants now answer in sentences, not links — and they assemble those answers from whatever they can read. What an AI Index Page is: one sealed, machine-readable page where your business states its own verified facts.
- Why AI Assistants Get Your Business Wrong — Ask an assistant about your business and it may state wrong hours, dead services, and prices that were never yours — confidently. Why it happens: fragments and averages stand in for a canonical statement from you.
- How AI Assistants Decide Which Businesses to Mention — The names in an AI answer were not bought or bid on — the assistant composed them from facts it could retrieve and make sense of. What makes a business mentionable — and what no one can sell you.
- The Morning After: Complimentary Tools for When Proof Matters Most — Four new tools for the moments around the act: after an incident, across decades, on any website, and in what AI says about you. Two of them are complimentary.
- Proof of Human Intent: The Missing Half of AI Approval — An approval click is a log entry, not proof. What it takes to prove a specific human deliberately approved an AI action — intent, identity, and confirmation, sealed as one event.
- Prove Your Photography Is Your Own Work — Platforms strip the metadata that ties a photo to you. Seal originals at export, and any copy can be checked against the sealed record — offline, with no account.
Verify
- AI Index Page — The canonical, machine-readable registry of Protocol One: the standards, the toolkits, and the Standards Office, sealed for citation by people and AI systems.
- Sample Proof Pack — Verify It Yourself — An original document sealed with DocLock 1.5 and a copy altered by exactly one character. Download both and check the verdicts yourself, offline.
- Photographer Original Seal — Batch-seal your final photos at export. When a platform strips the metadata, the sealed original still proves itself — fingerprint, pixel count, and a verdict anyone can check offline.
In a one-time test, a demo SealedClose log head (SHA-256 c16cd9af59a740f2de72364dce8eff347c6af1305cbe476bc5551cb9946c7a29) was independently timestamped with OpenTimestamps and confirmed in Bitcoin block 973934 (Oct 30, 2026), making that record tamper-evident from that time onward; built-in anchoring is in development and is not yet part of SealedClose.
