How to Use the Workbench

Follow these steps to run a forensic signature analysis and generate an evidentiary report.

Step 01

Enter Case Metadata

Fill in the case title, reference number, examiner name, and document sources. This data is embedded into the PDF report for chain-of-custody tracking.

Step 02

Upload Specimen Signatures

Add one or more genuine reference signatures. You can drag-and-drop image files or paste directly from the clipboard. For best results, use 3–5 high-resolution specimens written by the known author.

Step 03

Upload the Questioned Signature

Add the signature under examination. Ensure the image is clear and well-lit. The workbench accepts PNG, JPG, and WEBP formats.

Step 04

Run the Analysis

Click 'Run Forensic Analysis'. The AI engine compares the questioned signature against the specimens across four biometric axes:

  • Slant analysis — baseline tilt and stroke angle consistency
  • Proportions — relative height and width ratios of character groups
  • Tremor & hesitation — micro-irregularities indicating rushed or forged strokes
  • Ocular markers — tremor hotspots, loop deviations, and exit tapers mapped visually
Step 05

Review the Diagnostic Output

The right panel displays the congruence score, a detailed narrative, and an interactive overlay of ocular markers on the questioned signature. Use these findings to support your expert opinion.

Step 06

Export the PDF Report

Click 'Export PDF' to generate an evidentiary document containing:

  • Case metadata and examiner credentials
  • SHA-256 hash of the questioned signature image
  • Biometric metric tables and narrative conclusion
  • Chain-of-custody QR code for verification

Important Notes

  • This tool is for investigative reference only — it does not replace certified forensic examiner testimony.
  • All analysis is performed server-side; images are not stored permanently.
  • For highest accuracy, ensure specimen and questioned images are captured under similar conditions (resolution, lighting, pen color).
