Paper filings are slow, error-prone, and invisible to the people waiting on them.

Manual intake means re-keying, rejected filings discovered days later, and filers with no way to see status. Digital filing validates submissions up front, routes them automatically, and keeps everyone informed from submission through acceptance.
