Forensic document authentication

Proof a document is what it claims to be.

ARCUS checks a document layer by layer and returns one risk score, with the evidence behind it. Bank letters, passports, contracts, invoices: if a forged one has a cost, ARCUS shows you where it was changed.

    01What is ARCUS

    Six layers checked. One score you can trace.

    A forger can make a page look right. It is much harder to make every layer underneath agree. ARCUS reads each layer separately, then combines what it finds into a single 0–100 risk score. Pick a layer to see what it checks.

    Reading the score

    Where a document lands

    ARCUS does not accept or reject anything. It gives a score, a tier and the evidence. Your analyst makes the call. Select a sample to see its verdict.

    02The problem

    Six forgery signs. The eye catches none.

    This proof-of-funds letter looks bank-perfect. It was generated with AI, then edited. Before you see what ARCUS found, try it yourself. Click anything on the letter you think was faked.

    Tip: think about what a forger would change, and what they would copy from elsewhere.

    See what the eye can't. Drag to compare.

    Every scan opens in the Preview tab. Switch lens to see the same page the way ARCUS sees it, then drag the handle across to compare it with the original.

    The page lies. The file doesn't.

    Every file records when it was made and what made it. The Metadata tab reads those details and checks them against the page. Step through the timeline.

    Every verdict keeps its own audit trail. The same file on the same version gives the same result.

    05How it works

    One scan. Three stages.

    Upload a file, set the analysis depth, and ARCUS does the rest. Choose an engine and a court mode, then run the pipeline on the Sample Bank letter.
