What the drill proves

FINRA requires "independent access" — the ability to access records "without the need of any intervention of the outside entity." This drill demonstrates that capability.

✓ No vendor API calls
✓ No license server validation
✓ No vendor-hosted index
✓ Air-gapped execution

Drill Procedure (30–60 min)

1

Select scope

Choose date range, custodians, and record types for the drill.

2

Run Production Kit offline

The kit scans manifests directly from your S3 vault. No network calls to us.

$ ./production-kit scan --vault s3://your-vault --scope 2025-Q1
3

Validate hashes + receipts

Kit verifies SHA-256 hashes against manifest entries. Flags any integrity failures.

4

Export bundle

Export in required formats: PDF/A (human readable), PST/EML/CSV (reasonably usable electronic).

$ ./production-kit export --format pdf,pst --output ./drill-export/
5

Write Drill Receipt

Immutable receipt written to your vault. Proves drill completed at timestamp with scope + hash summary.
