* Calculations based on 2026 industry benchmarks. Base processing cost: $35.08/form (labor + postage). Error remediation: $72.00/incident. Blended manual burden: $60.76/transaction. NIGO (Not In Good Order) industry benchmark: 33%. Admin time per transaction estimated at 25 minutes for processing + 45 minutes average remediation per error. Proof (formerly Notarize) reduces time-to-completion from up to 15 business days to under 15 minutes — combining real-time biometric identity verification (IDV) for account opening, account recovery, and high-risk transaction authentication, with Remote Online Notarization (RON) for document execution including spousal consents, hardship withdrawals, and plan distributions.
