The Process

From faded ink to structured truth

A five-stage pipeline that doesn't just read cemetery records — it understands their meaning.

01

Image Enhancement

Grayscale conversion, contrast normalization, and unsharp masking — optimized for 19th-century ink on degraded paper before OCR even begins.

02

Layout-Aware Parsing

Column structures of burial registers are preserved. Tabular layouts — name, date, age, plot, cause — are parsed as structured data, never flattened to raw text.

03

Domain AI Interpretation

Cemetery-specialist AI decodes Spencerian cursive, German Kurrent, clerical Latin abbreviations, and pre-1950 cause-of-death terminology.

04

Knowledge Graph Construction

Family trees built from plot ownership chains. Cross-cemetery links established. Living descendants identified for legal heir notifications.

05

Blockchain-Notarized Export

Cryptographic timestamp on every record. Court-admissible documentation. Export as compliance PDFs, structured JSON, or public genealogy portals.

Construction stopped
by a grave discovery?

When graves are discovered during development, work must halt immediately under Texas law and most US states. Criminal penalties apply for disturbing remains.

Traditional archaeological consultants charge $15,000–50,000 and take 4–12 weeks. Every day of delay costs tens of thousands in stalled construction.
