Why We Built AutographPass
Comparing algorithmic forensic analysis against legacy "eye test" authenticators like PSA/DNA and JSA.
The Legacy Model (PSA/JSA)
For 25 years, the industry standard has been human subjectivity. An item is submitted, an analyst looks at it (sometimes for less than 15 seconds), compares it mentally or physically to known examples, and renders a verdict.
- Prone to human fatigue and bias.
- Often misses slow-drawn, structurally perfect forgeries.
- Rejections lack specific, scientific explanations.
The AutographPass Model
We treat authentication as a data science problem, not an art critique. Human experts still review the final output, but the foundation is built on millions of data points mapping pressure, vector geometry, and spectroscopic ink analysis.
- Objective structural mapping via software.
- Catches microscopic hesitation invisible to the eye.
- Rejections include detailed forensic reporting.
