About Sphere Care

A clearer record of creative work.

Sphere Care helps organisations record original creative work, compare it with versions that may have been changed, and produce a clear Evidence Record for another person to review.

§ A — Automated findings

Measured similarity recorded across 8 analysed variants against 4 registered source assets. Signals are reported with stated limitations; they are not conclusions of law.

§ B — Professional response

Recorded separately from system findings. Attribution appears only where explicitly authorised.

What it is

Sphere Care helps you keep a clear record of your work and compare it with versions that may have been altered or reused.

You can add a story, article, book chapter, campaign file, image or piece of copy. Sphere Care records the material, the information available about it and the technical fingerprints used for later comparison.

When you find a version that may reuse your work, Sphere Care helps you compare it with the original.

This can include material that has been re-typed, shortened, reformatted, screenshotted or changed into another file format.

The current working prototype has demonstrated this approach with altered text. We are extending the same evidence workflow to images and wider campaign assets.

How it works

  1. 01

    Add the original

    Add the source material and the information available about it.

  2. 02

    Compare another version

    Examine material that may have been copied, changed or reused.

  3. 03

    Review what was found

    See the similarities, measured signals and areas where information is missing.

  4. 04

    Create the record

    Produce a readable PDF and corresponding JSON file for review.

What you get

A structured Evidence Record showing what was examined, what was compared, what the system identified and where the result remains uncertain.

The record can include

  • 01source material and available information;
  • 02compared versions;
  • 03measured similarities and signals;
  • 04platform-recorded dates and events;
  • 05limitations and missing information;
  • 06a professional response submitted through Sphere Care.

It is available as a readable PDF with a corresponding JSON file.

It is designed so that a rights team, publisher, adviser or legal professional can understand what was examined and how the result was reached.

What makes it different

Many tools are built to find identical files or check one submitted document for matching passages.

Sphere Care is being built for the harder case: material that has been changed, and the need to keep a useful record of what was compared, what matched and what remained uncertain.

It does not present a score without context. The Evidence Record shows the signals used, the result reached and the limits of that result, so another person can review it.

Automated findings, professional observations and platform-recorded information remain visibly separate.

Separation of record

Sphere finding

Measured similarity recorded across analysed variants.

Professional response

Submitted observations, held distinct from system output.

System metadata

Chronology, sealed snapshot and integrity digest, recorded by the platform.

Three classes of information, kept distinct

Built to support decisions, not make them for you.

Sphere Care brings the source material, comparison results, dates, limitations and any professional response into one clear record. It gives publishers, rights teams and advisers a better starting point for deciding what to do next.

Sphere Care does not decide who owns a work or whether copying or infringement has taken place, and it does not provide legal advice.

Where independent advice is needed, the evidence package can be shared with a legal or other professional. Their response is kept separate from the system findings, and any advice or professional relationship is agreed directly between the people involved.

Why we built it

Sphere Care grew partly from our experience running Litro Magazine, an independent literary magazine published for nearly twenty years.

Publishing work over many years raised a practical question: how do you keep a useful record of original material when versions of it can be copied, altered and redistributed?

We began building Sphere Care because we needed a better answer ourselves.

Who it is for

Sphere Care is for publishers, agencies, rights holders, writers and professional teams responsible for valuable creative work.

It is for people who need to understand what material they hold, what has changed and what record they can provide when a question arises.
