The problem it solves

People upload the same document twice, or files that are too large or the wrong type slip through. Sorting out duplicates and bad uploads by hand wastes time and creates messy records. You need to trust that what's in your system is clean and correct.

Who it fits

Businesses that collect documents from clients or teams, such as tax, financial, or intake-heavy operations.

How it works

  1. A file is uploaded through a form or link
  2. The file's size and type are checked against your rules
  3. A unique ID and fingerprint are generated for the file
  4. The fingerprint is checked against existing records to catch duplicates
  5. The file's details are saved to your database and a confirmation is returned
What you get

Clean records ready without manual sorting

Every uploaded document is checked, deduplicated, and logged into your database automatically, with no manual sorting required.

What you get

A validated, duplicate-free record of the uploaded document stored in your database, with a confirmation ID.

What you need

A Postgres database and a way to accept uploads such as a web form.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
