Verifiable meeting records: the end of “that's not what I said”
A recording proves something was said; a verifiable record proves the document in your hands is the one that was issued. That difference — small in words, enormous in disputes — is what cryptographic sealing adds to meetings. Here is how it works and who actually needs it.
What “verifiable” actually means
Three properties: the record was issued by a known service (not assembled afterwards), it is bound to a specific session and time, and any third party can check both without trusting you or your IT department. Signatures deliver the binding; a public verification page delivers the third-party check.
How Spotrum seals a session
When a recorded session ends, the platform produces and seals the record:
- A transcript with speaker names and timestamps, plus an AI summary of decisions and action items
- A PDF report signed with a server-held cryptographic key (HMAC-SHA256)
- A QR code on the report linking to spotrum.com/verify — anyone can confirm issuance in seconds
Who actually needs this
Client and vendor calls where scope is agreed verbally; board and committee sessions; HR conversations; regulated industries where 'who approved this' must survive personnel changes; and any freelancer who has ever heard 'that's not what we asked for'. If a conversation allocates money, blame or obligations — it deserves a sealed record.
The honest limits
A signed report proves authenticity of issuance — that this document, with this content, was produced by Spotrum for that session at that time. It does not decide legal admissibility (that is your jurisdiction's call), and it cannot retroactively prove consent that wasn't captured. We word our guarantee precisely on the security page, because a verification feature that overpromises is worthless.
Can a Spotrum report be forged?
Forging one would require the server-held signing secret. Verification happens against Spotrum's own service — a fabricated PDF simply fails the QR check.
What does the verify page reveal?
Only issuance metadata — that the report exists and when it was issued. Transcript content is never exposed to whoever scans the code.
What if I need the meeting to be unrecordable instead?
Use an end-to-end encrypted room: recording and transcription are impossible there by design — even for Spotrum. Proof and privacy are both offered; you choose per room.
Every important call, sealed
