Proving what a website said years ago, at a scale no person could match
The problem
Proving what an organisation advertised in the past means working from pages that have since been quietly edited or deleted. Done by hand it is one person opening old archived snapshots one at a time — slow, incomplete, and impossible to demonstrate afterwards that the search was thorough.
The insight
What matters is proving you looked everywhere
Searching by hand finds the single most damning page and stops there — which is the weakest version of the argument, because the obvious response is that one page was an outlier. What holds up is a search that can state exactly what it covered: every archived version in the period, every page that met the criteria, all assessed the same way, each finding linked back to the archived original so anyone can check it themselves.
What we built
- An automated sweep of every archived version of a website across a chosen date range
- Findings sorted by how strong the evidence is, so review time goes to what matters
- A spreadsheet where every row links to the archived original for independent verification
- A repeatable process — the same search can be run again and produce the same coverage
