Built around the failure points.

01

Export evidence

Copy or download a unified representation with counts and the selected normalization rules.

Workflow

From input to an auditable output.

  1. Paste the original and changed text into separate labeled panels.

No. The tool completes and explains its calculation or transformation, but another platform can apply different limits, rules, encoders, or policies. Verify consequential output in the destination.
