You see the record. You can't change it.
GALs, parenting coordinators and mediators can be given read-only access to a family's channel where the order or the parties allow it. Every view is logged, and every message report shows how to check it.
Read-only for the case
The same record both parents have, and nothing more. You can read it. You can't post in it, and you can't change it.
- Read-only access where the order or the parties allow it, ending when the order says it ends.
- Every view is logged, and the log is kept with the record, where both parents can see it.
- Thread and date filters to find a message or a stretch of time, with sent and first-viewed times on every message.
- No side channel. Access shows the shared record only: no drafts, no screening results, nothing a parent didn't send.
Reports that read like a record
A message report is produced by deterministic code, not by AI, and reproduces messages verbatim.
Familiar, plain labels
Message k of N, Sent, From, To, First Viewed, Subject and Attachments, with full timestamps that show the offset and UTC. Message bodies are line-numbered, so a message and a line can be cited.
Scope you can see
The cover states how many messages are in range and lists any that were left out. Every page carries a page ID and the chain head.
Verification on the page
The last page prints the hashes a technician needs, and one line any reader can use: the checkpoint number and the chain head.
No screening results
Screening results are shown only to the person writing. They never appear in a report, and no professional sees them.
Three ways to check a report
Each way checks something different. Only a check of the export shows whether the words have changed.
By eye
Find the chain head printed on the report.
Find the same checkpoint in a copy you already hold.
Compare the first and last eight characters.
This confirms the report cites the same checkpoint you hold. It doesn't check the words on the page. Message fingerprints are salted, so the words can't be checked from paper alone.
Offline
Open the offline verifier, a single file that needs no network.
Load the export that came with the report.
Read the result: a plain line per message, and a printable summary.
This checks the words, the chain, the checkpoint, and the timestamps and Bitcoin anchor.
In a browser
Open the check page.
Drop in the export. It never leaves the device.
Paste the checkpoint root you hold, to compare.
This checks the words, the chain and the checkpoint. Timestamps and anchors are left to the offline verifier.
A full check of the export shows whether the record has changed since a checkpoint you hold. No check judges what a message says, and none shows who typed it.
What screening is, and isn't
- Each parent's drafts are checked against the communication terms in the order before they are sent: a rule-based check always, and a large language model pass only when both parents consent.
- Flags are potential issues for human review, never findings. They are shown only to the person writing.
- Screening never writes or rewrites a parent's words.
Screening is automated and can be wrong. The sender remains responsible for what they send.
What SIGIL doesn't do
- SIGIL is not a court and does not decide whether anything violates an order.
- SIGIL is not a neutral. It keeps the record; reading it is your work.
- SIGIL doesn't give legal advice.
Two sides. One record.
