Use case · Insurance claims
Create certified timestamped evidence for insurance claims
Insurers regularly dispute when damage occurred. An independently timestamped photograph, video, or contractor message is much harder for an insurer to dismiss than a self-stored JPEG with editable metadata.

Metadata ZIP
Manifest, signature, public key for independent verification by the insurer.
How to document loss in four steps.
Certify before repairs begin. Even one hour after the loss is better than nothing.
1
Photograph each affected itemWide, medium, and close-up shots. Include surrounding context.
2
Upload each photo as a File certificateGo to /certificates/new, select File, drop the photo, repeat.
3
Certify any messages with contractorsWhatsApp Web inside a Browser Session captures pricing, scope, and timing.
4
Send the PDF package with your claim formThe insurer can independently verify each artifact from the ZIP.
How to capture each artifact type.
Photo or video of damage
File certificate. SHA-256 hash binds each file to a qualified timestamp.
Walk-through recording
Browser Session — narrate the damage as you walk through the property.
Insurance-evidence questions, answered directly.
How do I prove when damage occurred for an insurance claim?
Photograph the damage and upload each photo as a File certificate at /certificates/new. The platform hashes the file and binds it to a qualified RFC 3161 timestamp — independent proof of when the damage existed in this state.
Can a certified photo be used in an insurance dispute?
Yes. Certified photos with SHA-256 hashes and qualified timestamps are far harder to dispute than self-stored JPEGs whose metadata is trivially editable.
What if I have already started repairs?
Certify whatever you have — photos, videos, receipts, contractor messages. Even partial certified evidence is stronger than uncertified evidence, and may be supplemented with witness statements.
Do business interruption claims benefit too?
Yes. Certify closure notices, communication with customers, and any online statements about the loss. Time-anchored proof of impact is exactly what loss adjusters need.
Is this legal advice?
No. This service creates technical evidence artifacts. Legal admissibility depends on jurisdiction and circumstances. Consult qualified legal counsel for advice specific to your situation.
