File intelligence

Files don't get to surprise you anymore.

fileident reads the binary — not the filename, not the form. ECU family, hardware, software, read method, and a confidence tier you can route on.

Four stages, zero squinting at hex dumps.

Every upload runs the same gauntlet before a human touches it. No exceptions.

1
upload

The dealer drops the read — any tool, any format. No forms asking what it "should" be.

2
identify

The binary is read directly: family, hardware & software numbers, read method.

3
corroborate

Cross-checked against plate, VIN, vehicle and filename. Witnesses, not guesses.

4
route

A confidence tier decides what may happen next — and what may not.

HIGH

Exact corpus match, all checks agree. Eligible for unattended auto-generation — if you allow it.

MED

Family identified, partial match. Bot may draft; a human reviews before anything ships.

LOW

Unusual or conflicting signals. Flagged for you — or a partner who masters that family.

What it catches — and what it builds for you

on every order, included in every tier
wrong-file detection

The #1 support headache, killed at intake.

A Passat file on a Golf order gets flagged before you open WinOLS. The dealer gets a polite note; you get your day back.
