Q1How does keeping documents local help protect a source?+
A source is exposed when the documents tied to them are copied somewhere reachable. Cloud AI puts a copy on a vendor's servers, where it can be breached, retained, or compelled. ScopePack never sends your files anywhere, so there's no off-device copy to seize or leak — the material stays in encrypted local storage on the machine you control. That's data minimization, not a way to hide anything from a process directed at you.
Q2Why should I trust an unknown, closed-source tool with sensitive material?+
Don't trust the claim — test the behavior. Turn on airplane mode or block the app with a firewall, then run a full briefing. Everything works and the counter stays at 0 sent / 0 received. We publish an egress audit showing exactly one network code path — an optional, default-off model download — and an open MIT-licensed verifier so a technical reviewer on your team can confirm it independently. The privacy is structural and observable.
Q3What happens when I work offline or in the field?+
Everything works. Once installed, the whole briefing workflow runs with the network off — on a plane, in a hotel, at a courthouse, or somewhere with no signal at all. No sign-in, no sync, no call home. Offline is the normal operating mode, not a degraded one.
Q4What if ScopePack the company is compromised or compelled?+
We never receive your documents, so there's nothing on our side to breach or to be forced to disclose. There's no account, no synced copy, no server-side store of your files. If we were breached, subpoenaed, or shut down entirely, your installed app keeps working offline and your material stays on your machine. You're relying on the fact that we never hold the data — not on our good security.
Q5Can the verification report be used in editorial or legal review?+
It's built for that. Each pack includes a local-processing record showing what ran on the device and that no source content left it, plus source-linked findings that trace every claim back to a page or message. Editors, fact-checkers, and counsel can review provenance without the underlying documents leaving custody. It's an operator aid for your own review, not legal or security advice.
Q6Is this just a wrapper around ChatGPT?+
No. There's no cloud model and no API call in the workflow. The AI and OCR run on your device. That's exactly why your source material can stay put.
