Controlled proof

Judge it on your document, not our slides

A controlled proof takes one real document from your business and one real AS/400 (IBM i) workflow, and shows you the completed entry — waiting for approval.

Waiting for your approval

What you actually see

Your old screen, and the entry already filled in

Your AS/400 (IBM i) screen
The AS/400 (IBM i) entry screen as it looks today
Unchanged. Nobody types into it.
What your team sees
The clean review screen, filled in and waiting for approval
Filled in, side by side with the document, waiting for a yes.

Why it is different

A demo shows the software runs. A proof shows it works for you.

Typical software demo

  • Uses prepared sample data
  • Shows a generic process
  • Runs in a prepared demonstration environment
  • Usually shows only the successful path
  • Asks you to imagine how it would work
  • May complete actions automatically
  • Requires trust in a presentation
  • Gives limited visibility into data controls

LegacyBridge controlled proof

  • Uses one of your real documents
  • Follows your actual AS/400 (IBM i) workflow
  • Works within an environment and access setup approved by your team
  • Shows unclear fields, validation and exceptions
  • Lets your employee check the actual result
  • Can stop before the final submission
  • Gives you evidence from your own process
  • Uses agreed access, permissions and approval rules

Low risk by design

Six things that keep it safe

Nothing is submitted

The entry is prepared and then stops. Your live data is not written to.

One document, one workflow

Narrow on purpose, so there is nothing hidden in the result.

Access agreed first

Your security team sets the boundaries before anything runs.

Your process keeps running

Nothing is switched off. The proof sits alongside business as usual.

Your employee reviews it

Not us. The person who does this job today checks the entry.

You decide afterwards

On evidence from your own screens, not on a presentation.

How it runs

Seven steps, start to decision

Most of the effort is ours. From your side it is a walkthrough, a document and a review.

1Choose one documentSelect an invoice, claim, order, work order or other document your team currently enters manually.
2Show us the current processWhich AS/400 (IBM i) screens your employee uses, which fields they enter and which checks they perform.
3Agree on the security and safety rulesEnvironment, access, permissions, data handling, approval step and what LegacyBridge is allowed to do.
4Run the controlled proofLegacyBridge reads the document and prepares the AS/400 (IBM i) transaction. It stops before the final submission.
5Review the resultYour employee compares every field with the original document.
6Approve or reject itThe transaction moves forward only after human approval.
7Decide based on evidenceTest more documents, automate the workflow or stop. No wider rollout to commit to first.
If the result is not convincing, you have lost an afternoon and learned something concrete about your own process. That is the whole downside.

Bring one document

Pick the paperwork that costs your team the most typing, and let us show you the entry already prepared.
