From intake to seal
Nothing enters the desk without a custody event. Every step writes a timestamp, an actor, and a hash — so the record can stand on its own.
Scan & hash
The exhibit is scanned to a frost-white sheet and sealed under SHA-256 and BLAKE3 at the moment of arrival.
Apply masses
Black redaction bars crop across the real content as structural masses — censorship that is procedural, never decorative.
Confirm provenance
A single icy-blue tick marks the hash matched against the master ledger. Blue is the only color you ever have to count.
Redaction is the layout
Black masses outrank everything. They set the asymmetry, crop the page, and create the cold negative space that makes a sealed field feel sealed. Blue only ever confirms — it never decorates.
The record holds
A chain of custody is only as good as its weakest link. Dossier keeps the count visible so you can trust it at a glance.
