From a finding to a checked copy—not a dashboard full of claims.
The Windows MVP focuses on the shipped path: choose a supported file, inspect it, remove selected supported items, reopen the output, check again, and give one clear next action. Advanced reports and safety certificates are not part of the MVP.
Supported risk categoriesNames, contact details, identifiers, credentials, secrets, document metadata, comments, hidden content, and selected image metadata or OCR regions.
Format-aware transformationPDF, Office, image, text, and structured-data files require different removal and verification methods.
Clear limitsUnsupported formats, edition-limit violations, failed reopening, and unresolved critical secrets stop before a safe output is shown.
What the scanner is designed to check
People and contact dataNames, email addresses, phone numbers, postal information, and user-supplied terms.
Business identifiersCustomer, order, invoice, account, contract, and employee identifiers.
Credentials and secretsAPI keys, access tokens, passwords, private keys, connection strings, and secret environment values.
Hidden file dataAuthors, company properties, comments, revisions, hidden elements, image location metadata, and supported embedded structures.
What a result can—and cannot—mean
Result
Meaning
Required next step
Safe copy created
The output passed the supported reopen and recheck path
Review the exact output and destination before sharing
Review required
A supported finding or file condition needs judgement
Inspect the summary and decide whether to change or stop
Blocked or failed
The app cannot publish a verified normal output
Follow the stated reason; the original remains unchanged
A successful technical result does not replace organisational policy, consent, legal review, or destination governance.
Evidence behind broad claims
Coverage should be demonstrated with synthetic fixtures and format-specific checks. Local-processing claims need a documented network-behavior method. Conversion claims need outputs that reopen, preserve useful content, remove the selected canaries, and leave the original unchanged.
The evidence hub separates documented methods from verified release results so product availability does not imply that every public evidence record is already published.
