What is document assurance?
Document assurance is a disciplined last look at finished PDF or Word files: catch mistakes, inconsistencies, missing details, and risky language before sign, send, or file—with your verification of facts, rules, and citations.

Definitions
Core terms (plain language)
- Document Check: a structured review run on a finished file (and optional supporting files).
- Proof Report: an export-oriented summary you can reconcile before sign-off.
- Issue ledger: merged reviewer findings as a single actionable backlog.
- Source-grounded review: checks anchored to text you provide—not guessed context.
- Pre-signature review: a verified pass before binding commitments.
Checklist
A practical starter checklist
- Stabilize the file enough for a serious review pass (minimize churn during the check).
- Attach sources when correctness depends on another document.
- Triage the issue ledger; disposition every material item.
- Re-read high-risk sections in full paragraphs after edits.
