Every redaction has a source.

Every redaction points to its source file, page, paragraph and span. Every change keeps who made it, when and why.

The problem.

When a redacted document is questioned, the questions are simple: where did this come from, and why was it redacted or left in? A manual process cannot answer them without repeating the work, and often cannot answer them at all.

What Redactics does.

Redactics records provenance for everything it produces. A finding keeps a link to its source: file, message, attachment, page, paragraph and character span, with the original retained beside the extracted text. A reviewer's change keeps the reviewer, the time and the reason. Nothing is derived without a pointer back to where it came from.

  • Source file, message, attachment, page, paragraph and span for every finding
  • Original retained alongside extracted and transcribed text
  • Reviewer, timestamp and reason on every change
  • Evidence export for a set, finding or person
