The Forensics report provides an automated authenticity audit of uploaded documents. Access it from the Preview Panel → Forensics in the Review Candidate step. You can also download the full report as a PDF using the download report button above the summary.

​
Summary Information

The report summarizes document authenticity using multiple forensic checks and assigns an overall risk level (e.g., High Risk).

​
Intelligence Summary

A short, high-level explanation of:
  • Key consistencies (e.g., grading, timelines)
  • Major concerns (e.g., metadata inconsistencies, missing security features)
This is the quickest way to understand why a document is flagged.

​
Key Findings

Highlights the most critical issues detected. For example:
  • Temporal inconsistencies in file metadata
  • Missing digital verification features (e.g., QR code)

​
Extracted Data

Basic document details — Candidate Name, Registration Number, Issuing Institution, Program / Qualification and Year of Issuance.

​
Detailed Findings

​
Forensic Audit Check

The report evaluates multiple checks, each marked as PASS or FAIL:
  • Arithmetic & grading consistency
  • Date and timeline progression
  • Multilingual consistency
  • Internal Consistency
  • Course and curriculum alignment
  • Grading scale consistency
  • Missing digital verification markers (e.g., QR code)
  • Suspicious typography or formatting artifacts
  • Metadata inconsistencies (e.g., file created before content existed)
  • Visual anomalies suggesting edits or reconstruction
Each check includes a short explanation and supporting evidence.

How to Use

  1. Use the risk level and intelligence summary for quick assessment
  2. Cross-check flagged issues with the original document in the preview (key findings)
  3. Review failed checks carefully — these indicate potential fraud or tampering
  4. If concerns remain, request additional documents or perform primary source verification
The report is an automated assessment and not a legal certification of authenticity. For high-stakes decisions, always perform additional verification where required. You can verify suspected documents for verification using Verify button at the top.
Open the candidate record and navigate to the Forensics tab to review the flagged findings. Verify the highlighted issues against the uploaded documents and make any necessary corrections or overrides, providing a reason where required. Once all findings have been reviewed and addressed, the forensics scan can be saved as updated.
