# Unforged Nib for government: application forms and scanned archives

> Unforged Nib reads scanned forms and whole archives in bulk, and sends anything unclear to a person, with reasons for the record.

**The problem:** Application forms by the box, and archives nobody has had time to check.

## What you send

- Scanned application forms, as TIFFs, PDFs or ZIP archives
- The applicant's reference signatures from earlier forms
- Your case or application number

## What you get back

- A verdict: one of six, from AUTO APPROVE to NO SIGNATURE
- A probability from 0 to 1, with a band
- Plain-language reasons you can show an auditor
- The policy and version that produced it

## How it fits your process

1. **Enrol from past forms** (API): Enrol reference signatures from forms already on file.
2. **Drop batches in your bucket** (bucket drop): Put scans or ZIP archives and a manifest in your bucket.
3. **Or check one at a time** (API): Send a single form through the API as it comes in.
4. **Keep the record** (API, bucket drop): Every result carries its reasons, policy and version, ready for review.

## Decisions that matter

- **FLAG**: An officer reviews it before anything is decided.
- **FAILED**: Never automatic. Always a person.
- **UNREADABLE**: A faded or damaged scan is set aside. Free.

## What it reads

Scans, TIFFs, ZIP archives, PDFs. Up to 50 MB and 200 pages.
