The problem: corrections that erase the original
In regulated work, a corrected value must not hide the original. Paper notebooks and spreadsheets make it hard to show who changed what and why.
A viscosity value is entered wrong and corrected. On paper, the correction may be a crossed-out number. In a spreadsheet, the original is simply gone.
What this demo shows
- A scientist records a viscosity value on a batch release record.
- A colleague corrects it with a comment.
- The Audit Log keeps both values.
- The scientist signs the notebook entry with a PIN.
Why it matters
In regulated work, the original value and the correction both need to survive, with who made the change and why. An audit log that keeps both values meets that need.
PIN signatures lock the entry once the scientist signs, so the record reviewers see is the record that was signed.

In a regulated lab, every change must show who made it, when, and what it replaced. Here, a scientist records a viscosity of 2.11 on a batch release record. A colleague remeasures, corrects it to 2.07, and leaves a comment on why. The event log keeps both values, the user, and the time, so the original stays on record.
In the notebook entry for this batch, signing asks for the signer's PIN and applies their stored signature. The entry now carries a lock, plus a signature block with the signer's name, date, and time. Uncountable connects R&D, quality, and product life cycle data in one platform with audit trails and e-signatures built in.
