Text locked inside multi-column transcripts, physical archives, and unselectable canvases
is still evidence. Scalpel isolates the exact phrase — 320 characters maximum —
and seals it with a dual-hash provenance chain at the moment of capture.
Not a clipboard. Not a screenshot. A sealed, timestamped compliance record.
01
The layout lies. The phrase doesn't.
Multi-column PDFs feed you both columns at once. Margin numbers contaminate your quote.
Scalpel reads the correct column only — strips the noise before you ever see it.
02
A clipboard paste is an orphan.
No origin. No timestamp. No chain of custody. A ProvenanceCard is a sealed, cryptographically
anchored evidence fragment — admissible where a paste is not.
03
320 characters. No more. By design.
GDPR data minimisation is not a constraint — it is the product.
You extract exactly what you need. The rest is never touched, never stored, never your liability.
