Examine the evidence. Do not outsource the decision.
The checker is built on one principle: show what the evidence proves. It shows which facts are proved and which are not, and never turns a blank into an accusation.
Verify a request
Don’t trust us. Test us.
Pick a request and watch Atestan put five questions to it, one at a time. The five are the A→E steps in plain language, the letters are for the security team, the questions are what a finance director needs answered.
The result must match the proof
It never suggests everything is proved when only part has been. And the other way round: a point left blank does not mean the request is a forgery, it means the available evidence has not proved that particular point.

The code printed on the request
Twenty-six characters, from a set with no 0, O, 1 or L, so it can be read out over the phone without spelling. The checker looks up the evidence that matches it, and a mistyped code is answered as a mistyped code, never as a missing seal.
Verify a request
Someone is asking you to pay, or to change an account. Enter the code from their message and see what can be proved. No organisation is enrolled yet, so no seal matches a code today, and it says so rather than turning silence into a verdict.

Before you act
For a high-value request, this check is one part of the decision. A finance team may still need an existing supplier contact, an independent phone line, internal approval, two-person sign-off and its normal payment controls. Atestan is designed to strengthen that process with evidence, not to replace it.
