Keep the platform's own records, the way they sent them.

Every week the platform sends you an earnings email. That email is signed by their own server. SCOUT preserves it, verified, on your phone. When the appeal comes, you already have your side of the file, organized.

Why the email matters

The receipt the platform can't take back.

When the platform's mail server sends you an earnings summary, it stamps the message with a cryptographic signature (DKIM). Anyone with the public key can verify the message was not altered after leaving their server.

Most drivers ignore these emails. Or forward them, which quietly breaks the signature. SCOUT does the opposite: it saves the raw file, verifies the signature the day it arrives, snapshots the public key, and locks the whole thing with a hash.

The file becomes tamper-evident. Not because you say so. Because the math says so.

Sealed. On your device.
Under the hood

Four steps. Once per week. Automatic.

You connect your inbox. SCOUT does the rest, quietly, every time the platform sends you a receipt.

1

Ingest

SCOUT reads the platform's weekly email from your inbox, in its raw form. Never a forwarded copy.

2

Verify

Fetches the platform's public key from DNS the moment the email arrives. Confirms the signature. Snapshots the key for later.

3

Seal

Hashes the raw file with SHA-256. Any change later, anywhere, breaks the seal.

4

Store

Locked in the vault on your device. Never sent to us. Never sent to anyone. Yours to hand over when you decide.

What the vault is for

Material a lawyer, an arbitrator, or a small claims judge can work with.

The vault does not decide the outcome. It gives you the raw material to argue your side, organized and preserved the way the platform originally sent it.

The platform appeal

Bring the actual numbers the platform's server confirmed, from the platform's own emails. Not screenshots. The originals.

Arbitration

Under most TOS you agree to individual arbitration. The vault gives you an evidence bundle a filing lawyer can drop straight into an AAA or JAMS case.

Small claims

In California, up to $12,500. The judge can inspect the file, see the platform's own signature, and hear your side without an attorney in the room.

Straight talk

SCOUT does not promise you an outcome.

The vault preserves material. It does not guarantee reinstatement, a settlement, or that any court will accept the file. What it does is fix the imbalance: you arrive with organized, tamper-evident records instead of screenshots.

Whether that material is admissible, and how it is weighed, is a decision for the venue and, ideally, a lawyer who knows your jurisdiction.

Rule 11

The vault stays on your phone.

If SCOUT never held it, SCOUT can't surrender it.

Not to us. Not to a broker. Not to a subpoena we cannot answer. The architecture is the promise: we do not have your inbox on our servers, so we cannot hand it to anyone.

Start collecting your receipts. Now.

Every week you drive without the vault is a receipt that lives only in your inbox, one broken forward away from useless.
