Description
Compare recorded and expected seal/version strings exactly and return separate flags plus their conjunction.
Evidence records link identifiers, packaging, quantities and source assertions. Literal equality and balanced counts can reveal local inconsistencies, but they cannot authenticate physical evidence, establish custody completeness or determine legal admissibility.
Compare recorded and expected seal/version strings exactly and return separate flags plus their conjunction.
When to use this tool
Use Exhibit Seal Version Match Flag when you need a scoped evidence-record or quantity-reconciliation diagnostic.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter recordedSeal, recordedVersion, expectedSeal, expectedVersion. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read sealMatches, versionMatches, matches. Inspect sealMatches, versionMatches, matches before interpreting the associated values.

}Limitations and assumptions
- Literal metadata equality does not authenticate a seal, establish intact packaging, or verify chain of custody.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review authenticated source records and the complete custody process through the appropriate professional procedure. Treat local flags as prompts for investigation rather than independent evidentiary conclusions.
