Your Licensees Report Their Own Numbers. In 87% of Audited Licenses the Numbers Were Wrong.

ProofSnap is a Chrome and Edge extension. On the Company plan you assign one seat per licensee, and each captures their own analytics dashboard as a package that carries a SHA-256 hash, an RSA signature and a Bitcoin blockchain timestamp. You bill on the figure their dashboard showed, and any later edit to it is detectable. Updated September 2026.

The 87% above comes from InvotexIP's own royalty audit practice, with no sample size disclosed. When you charge a royalty on usage you can't see, you're billing on whatever the licensee chooses to tell you. Give each licensee a ProofSnap seat: they capture their own analytics page with a SHA-256 hash and a blockchain timestamp, then send you a tamper-evident package. The numbers you bill on become the numbers they actually saw on screen, not a figure typed into an email.

Self-Reported Royalties Are Built on Trust You Can't Verify

A forensic royalty audit can establish what's owed, but only after the fact, at high cost, and usually once the relationship has already soured. The cheaper fix is to make the report verifiable at the moment it's taken.

The structure of a self-reporting agreement is the problem, not the licensee. The licensee calculates net sales, applies the agreed rate, files a royalty statement on the reporting schedule, and no independent party ever looks at the numbers underneath unless the licensor exercises its audit rights. That works while the relationship is good and fails quietly when it is not, because the figure that arrives is a figure, not a record. By the time a licensor suspects something, the reporting periods in question are closed, the dashboard now shows different numbers, and the only route left is the expensive one. All four failures below come from the same place: nobody tied the report to a date while it still reflected the period.

You can't see their dashboard

The usage analytics live in the licensee's account. You have no direct visibility, so you bill on a figure they hand you.

A screenshot proves nothing

A pasted screenshot can be cropped, edited, or recreated. There's no proof of when it was taken or whether a number was changed.

Underreporting is the norm, not the exception

InvotexIP's 20-year study, reported by IPWatchdog in November 2022, found underreported sales in 60% of the licensing agreements it examined, often through "interpretation" rather than outright fraud. Either way, you are underpaid.

Audits are slow and adversarial

Forensic royalty audits establish how much you were underpaid, but they are expensive, retrospective, and hard on the relationship. Verification at capture avoids all three.

The Seat Workflow

You pay for the seat. The licensee captures their own analytics. You bill on numbers that can't be quietly edited.

1

Assign a licensee seat

From your Company dashboard, add the licensee by email. No shared email domain required; any address works.

2

They capture their analytics page

The licensee opens their own dashboard in Chrome or Edge and clicks ProofSnap: full page, SHA-256 hash, blockchain timestamp, one click.

3

They send you the package

The licensee shares the tamper-evident ZIP. You never need access to their analytics account.

4

You bill on verified numbers

Confirm integrity in seconds with the free Trust Verifier. Any later edit breaks the signed manifest, so the figure is the one they saw.

A Company seat is $190 per licensee per year with unlimited captures, so a licensor collecting quarterly statements pays $47.50 per verified royalty report. Need a seat back? Remove a licensee from your dashboard at any time and the seat is free for the next one. Minimum 2 licenses on the Company plan.

Any Fee You Bill on Self-Reported Usage

If your revenue depends on a number that lives inside someone else's dashboard, ProofSnap turns that number into verifiable evidence.

Game & Digital Asset Royalties

License an engine, asset, character, or SDK and charge on impressions, installs, or active users? The licensee captures their analytics page, and you bill on what they actually saw, not a rounded-down figure.

Brand, IP & Franchise Licensing

Royalties on a brand, trademark, design, or franchise tied to sales or traffic dashboards. Each licensee submits a timestamped, tamper-evident capture of their reporting page every reporting period.

Ad-Tech, Affiliate & SaaS Reseller Usage

Revenue-share on impressions, conversions, or user licenses consumed by a partner or reseller. The partner captures the usage dashboard you can't access; you settle on numbers you can verify.

Verified at Capture, Not Reconstructed in an Audit

Integrity is built into the report itself, so billing disputes start from evidence instead of one side's word against the other's.

A capture carries a Bitcoin anchor on every plan except Essential, and a qualified EU timestamp on the Enterprise and Company plans, or with eIDAS SnapPack credits. The difference matters when a licensee is in the European Union, because a qualified timestamp is the one the regulation actually names. Article 41(2) of the eIDAS Regulation puts it in one sentence: "A qualified electronic time stamp shall enjoy the presumption of the accuracy of the date and the time it indicates and the integrity of the data to which the date and time are bound." That presumption covers the date and the integrity of the bound data. It says nothing about whether the figure on the dashboard was true, which is why the workflow below is about the capture and not about the number.

Assign the seat

Provision a licensee from your Company dashboard in minutes, by email, with no IT integration on either side.

  • Any email, no shared domain required
  • Add and remove seats as your roster changes
  • Central team management dashboard
Capture

Certify the numbers

The licensee captures their own analytics page as a full-page screenshot, with a SHA-256 hash and a blockchain timestamp.

  • Full-page screenshot + page HTML + DOM text
  • Blockchain anchor proves the report existed no later than that date
  • C2PA Content Credentials record who produced the screenshot
Bill

Settle with confidence

Verify the package yourself in seconds: the hash, the signature and the blockchain anchor can all be checked with standard tools, so nothing rests on taking our word for it, or the licensee's. Then invoice on the confirmed figure.

  • Independently verifiable by any third party
  • Chain-of-custody log in every package
  • Any later edit breaks the signed manifest, so the package fails verification

What the Licensee Sends You

Each capture produces a single ZIP archive of 11 to 15 files, depending on the plan. Among them: the full-page screenshot of the dashboard, the page source, the extracted on-screen text, the capture metadata, a human-readable evidence PDF, a forensic log, a chain of custody record, and the manifest that binds them together. Every file is hashed at the moment of capture, the hashes go into that manifest, the manifest is signed on the spot with an RSA-4096 key and then anchored to the blockchain by a timestamp, so nothing can be swapped or edited afterwards without detection. What you receive is one attachment. Open it, run the verification script inside it, and the figure either checks out or it does not, without a call to us and without taking the licensee's word for anything.
