TruView’s “TCAT” AI Document Authenticator:

The Industry Best Practice for Technology-Enhanced

School Residency Investigations

TruView leads the investigative services industry in applying technologies that assist school districts in verifying student residencies. Following the continued success of our IAAI open-source technology that create pointers that inform more streamlined, cost-effective residency investigations, we are now successfully applying the TruView Certification & Authentication (TCATTM) AI technology to verify the authenticity of documents submitted in proof of district residency.

Unfortunately, with available technologies, document manipulation and fraud has become easier to accomplish and more difficult to detect with the human eye. It is a growing problem for government agencies, employers, and school districts. With TCAT, integrated with AI-based forensic document authentication technology, TruView Investigative Analysts can scan a document in seconds to verify its authenticity. TCAT AI Authenticator analyzes documents using over 500 different detectors—analyzing metadata, internal structures, image consistencies, fonts in use, and so forth—for signs of fraud. It delivers clear, actionable verdicts (not “risk scores”); we can tell immediately if a document is authentic and can be trusted, or if it shows modification and needs further review, or if it likely is fraudulent and should be declined.

TCAT AI technology ensures that documents your school collects to verify residency are authentic, eliminating a growing security risk while increasing the accuracy of your school district residency program. TCAT will authenticate any document you collect as proof of residency, such as:

  • residential lease or mortgage statement
  • property tax bill
  • homeowner/renter insurance policy statement
  • pay stub
  • income tax form
  • utility bill (electric, heating, water, cable, phone)
  • voter registration documents
  • official driver’s license
  • judicial custody orders

Plus, the TCAT AI Authenticator works as a “pointer” toward cases requiring additional investigative methods, such as field surveillance. In this way, it is “tandem” technology to IAAI in that it develops actionable intelligence that allows districts to increase the effectiveness of residency budgets—part of TruView’s holistic approach to investigations. With solutions like TCAT, we continue to lead the industry in applying technologies that help school districts address emerging risks and challenges.
