Can it be read?
Formats, OCR, handwriting, tables, images, audio, language, duplicates and damaged scans.
Data readiness
The archive is the project.
A larger model cannot repair unknown authority, missing pages, duplicate scans, broken access inheritance or an undefined deletion duty. Those conditions must become measurable first.
Can it be trusted?
Approved versus draft, superseded versions, source owner, dates and conflicting records.
May it be used?
Matter, person, role, purpose, retention, legal hold, deletion and export boundaries.

Commercial boundary: ANULUM can design and implement technical controls. The client and its advisers determine lawful purpose, retention, privilege and regulatory obligations.
