Public Records Requests

CandorPublic records, defensible from intake to release

An AI-native records office: the statutory clock, the search, the redactions, and the sign-off, all provable after the fact.

Statutory ClocksChain of CustodyNamed-Human Sign-Off
  • 01

    The moment a request lands, the statutory clock starts, a legal hold is placed, and the audit trail begins, before any staff member touches it.

  • 02

    Records discovery runs under a separately audited search principal, so one employee's access limits can never silently hide a responsive record.

  • 03

    Nothing is released without a named human signature: signatory name, title, and attestation are captured at the final gate and enforced by database constraints.

Capabilities

What your team gets

Everything below ships in Candor today.

Statutory Deadline Engine

Business-day and calendar-day aware due dates, one-click statutory extensions, and an always-on scanner that nudges, notices, and escalates up the reporting chain.

AI-Assisted Review, Human-Decided

AI proposes responsive and non-responsive classifications with confidence and rationale, but no record is excluded or disclosed without a human affirming.

Exemption-Coded Redaction

Format-aware redaction across Word, PDF, HTML, email, and text, mapped to statutory exemption codes. Files that cannot be certified as redacted are hard-blocked from disclosure.

Paper Records, First-Class

Scan capture with OCR into searchable, redactable PDFs, plus a tamper-evident, hash-chained chain of custody for every request.

Defense Packet

A PDF for counsel or auditors: what was searched, what was found, what was withheld under which exemption, and who signed.

Public Requester Portal

Login-free submission with email identity verification, sanitized status checks, clarification responses, and disclosure download.

Configurable Compliance Profiles

Profiles for the California Public Records Act, federal FOIA, and other state regimes, with rolling production for voluminous requests.

Delegation as a Tree

Recursive assignment with bottom-up review and org-chart driven routing, not an email thread.

Powered by the InfiniteAI platform

Shared identity, tenancy, tamper-evident audit, and AI-safety foundations under every solution. AI drafts, humans approve, every approval logged.
