The product · subjects, extraction, the record

Built for the forms nobody else will touch.

Two-page contracts are solved. What is not solved is a nine-page application about six people, where the same ID number is asked for three times and only one of them is labelled. That is the document this product was built around.

Subjects

The form never knows who Dependant 1 is. We do.

A medical scheme application asks for a member, a spouse and four dependants — six sets of the same twelve questions, in six places, answered by one person. A field-and-signature tool sees 284 unrelated boxes. Vumasign sees six subjects, asks each question once, and puts the answers everywhere the form repeats them.

Nobody builds that for a two-page NDA. It is the reason the hard forms work here.

Extraction

The PDF you already use, read in a minute.

Upload the form and every field on it is found, named and placed — including the ones drawn as a grid of single-character boxes, which most tools treat as a picture. You correct what is wrong rather than building 284 fields by hand.

The correcting is the product. The finding is what makes correcting worth doing.

Questions

Asked once, even when the form asks four times.

A question is asked of a subject, not of a rectangle. An ID number that appears on pages 2, 7 and 9 is one question and one answer, typed once — and it validates as an ID number while it is typed rather than after the signer presses Sign.

The record

Sealed on completion, verifiable without us.

When the last person signs, the answers are flattened into the document, a Certificate of Completion is appended, and the whole thing is sealed with a trusted timestamp. Change a byte and the seal breaks — in the reader’s own software, with no account and no request to Vumasign.

Measured, not estimated
