What a certificate is
A count certificate is a signed record of the counts Fincount AI made from video for one sale. It shows the total count with its range, the count of each basin, the size spread, the estimated weight as a range, the model version, the method and a short tamper code.
It is an estimate, not a legal measure
A certificate is an estimate made from video. It is not a legal measure. It is only as good as the video, and the range on it says how far to trust it.
Count reports during the pilot
Until accuracy has been published for the model version in use, the same document is called a count report. It says so on the document. The seller's account is switched to certificates once the evaluation report is published.
Only from final counts
A certificate is only issued from final cloud counts, never from the phone's first count. A basin that is too crowded or fails the picture checks cannot go on a certificate until it is recounted or reviewed.
The recount rule
The buyer and the seller agree the recount rule in advance. The rule printed on every certificate is: fish counted on arrival plus fish that died on the way are compared with the certified count, and a difference is only a dispute when it is bigger than the combined range.
How a buyer checks a certificate
The buyer scans the QR code or types the code on the check certificate page. The page shows the certificate as issued, its status, and that the signature was checked. It shows no phone numbers and no prices. A technical buyer can check the signature independently with the published public key.
Corrections and cancellation
A certificate is never edited. A correction issues a new certificate and marks the old one superseded, with a link between them. A certificate can be revoked with a reason, and the page then shows it as revoked.
