Provenance Seal

Verify a document's cited law — no account, no trust required

FamilyLawGPS exports carry a seal encoding every citation they relied on, pinned to the exact corpus version by SHA-256 hash. This page recomputes that set against the live corpus. It verifies law-version provenance — which text of the law the document used — never the legal correctness of the document, and not the document's own prose.

How the seal works

Every Word export from the Drafting Studio ends with a Provenance Seal link in its citations appendix — the citation set, each section pinned to the SHA-256 hash of the verbatim law text it relied on.
Opening the link lands here, where each section is recomputed against the live corpus — the same hash-pinned store the platform retrieves from.
Each citation answers one of three ways: VERIFIED (the law text still matches), CHANGED (the corpus text moved — re-verify before relying), or NOT IN CORPUS (not verifiable here — honest, never guessed).

There is nothing to paste and no account to make: if a document handed to you carries a seal link, the check is one click. Documents without a seal simply predate it.

The Provenance Seal verifies law-version provenance against this platform's hash-pinned corpus of Florida family law — captured verbatim from official state sources. It never verifies the legal correctness, completeness, or authenticity of the document carrying it. Legal information, not legal advice.
