NDA kiosk

An unsexy compliance workflow, made into a clean system.

the short version

iPad kiosk for events: guests sign in, sign the NDA with a drawn signature, and signed PDFs plus attendee lists export to shared storage automatically. The interesting part is the legal posture — NDA version history with content hashes baked into each signed PDF, immutable guest records, audit logging across thirteen action types, and export failures that never block a guest from signing in. Not every system needs an LLM; every system needs an owner.

Full case study in progress — artifacts pending clearance or writing time. The insight below is already earned.

The boring problems are where durable systems earn trust — nobody applauds, everything works.
