Use this real case as a reference for the kind of evidence that can be organized in a private authentication report.
The public browser receives rendered pages, not a native PDF viewer or direct PDF URL. Public pixels can still be screen-captured; private commissioned reports remain controlled client deliverables.
QR verification
Traceable real case
This real case has a stable verification URL and source fingerprints. The QR code resolves to the public verification record for this case.
Only your email and service selection are needed to submit the request. Optional images, dimensions and notes can be added now or later.
Payment is requested only for the Authentication report. Catalogue search, advisory, restoration and local inspection requests are reviewed first so the scope can be confirmed.
Authentication is a human expert review. ConfirmArt may use AI for bounded research support such as database, image, book or provenance searches, but not as a classifier verdict.
