Intelligent File Organization for the Digital Age
Patent Abstract: "A process for reconciling electronic files, comprising: interrogating a plurality of electronic files; identifying intrinsic attributes from the plurality of electronic files; identifying extrinsic attributes from the plurality of electronic files; mapping the identified intrinsic and extrinsic attributes into a relational database; determining, by an artificial intelligence engine, relationships between the plurality of files based on the mapped intrinsic and extrinsic attributes; identifying candidate related files based on the determined relationships; and displaying a group of identified candidate related files."

Advanced Capabilities
Entity Recognition: DOORS goes beyond simple file organization by understanding the entities within your files. It recognizes family members, friends, colleagues, pets, locations, and objects, creating a comprehensive map of your digital life.
Relationship Inference: The system's patent-pending algorithm identifies relationships between files that aren't immediately obvious - connecting a photo from a vacation with related documents, emails, and other files from the same trip or project.
Professional Workflows: DOORS excels at organizing professional documents, automatically creating project folders, tracking document versions, and maintaining client file organization for legal, consulting, and creative professionals.

🎓 Students & Researchers
Organize research documents, papers, and references automatically. Keep track of project files across multiple devices and collaborate efficiently.
📁 Organizing Existing Collections
DOORS doesn't require starting from scratch. Point it at any existing folder — a hard drive full of unsorted photographs, a directory of downloaded documents, a cloud drive from an old laptop — and DOORS analyses what's already there, infers relationships between files, removes duplicates, and applies intelligent structure to what you already have. Perfect for photographers with years of unorganized archives, or anyone inheriting a chaotic digital collection.
🌐 Full Digital Life Migration
When changing devices, switching cloud providers, or consolidating years of digital accumulation across platforms, DOORS acts as the migration engine. Connect all your sources simultaneously — old phone, old laptop, multiple cloud drives — and DOORS pulls every file in, reconciles duplicates across all sources, identifies the best version of each file, and builds a clean, organized master set ready for the future. Complete digital life migration, from everywhere to one place, in a single operation.
Data Mining & Data Refining — The Analyzer Engine at Work
The Intrinsic and Extrinsic Attribute Analyzer Engine at the heart of DOORS doesn't only find and organise files — it reads what is inside them. This creates a powerful capability that extends well beyond file management into data mining and data refinement: the ability to find every file relevant to a specific task, extract the precise data within those files that the task requires, and deliver a structured dataset ready for use.
This capability is common across the entire DOORS patent family — the same engine that powers intelligent file organisation in DOORS also powers security scanning in AIRSS, and data processing in forthcoming DOORS Data Refining applications. It is the shared analytical core of the platform.
🔍 Example: Financial Document Mining
Tell DOORS you need all financial documents relevant to a set of accounts. The Analyzer Engine searches using both extrinsic attributes (file types, naming patterns, folder locations, date ranges, sender addresses) and intrinsic attributes (content: invoices, receipts, bank statements, expense records, account references, transaction data). DOORS locates every relevant document across all connected devices and drives — regardless of where it was saved, what it was named, or which cloud it lives on. Nothing that belongs in scope is missed; nothing outside scope is included.
⚙️ Example: Financial Data Refining
Having located the relevant documents, the engine extracts the financial data that constitutes part of the intrinsic attributes of those files — transaction amounts, dates, payees, VAT references, account numbers — and refines this into a structured, formatted dataset. The result is ready for import into accounting software, a spreadsheet, or a financial reporting system. What would take a person hours of manual collation, DOORS accomplishes automatically, accurately, and completely.
📚 Broader Applications
The same principle applies across any data-intensive task that requires finding and extracting from a large file corpus:
• Legal discovery: Find all documents relevant to a case; extract key dates, parties, and clauses
• Compliance documentation: Gather all records within a regulatory scope; verify completeness
• Research literature harvesting: Pull every paper on a topic; extract citations, methodologies, findings
• Medical records compilation: Locate all patient-relevant files; extract clinical data for reporting
Any task that requires "find everything about X and give me the relevant data from inside it" is a task for the DOORS Analyzer Engine.
The Future of File Management
Transform your digital chaos into organized clarity with DOORS.
Market Opportunity — Three Growing Segments
DOORS addresses three distinct and simultaneously growing markets with a single patented architecture. Each segment has strong independent tailwinds; DOORS serves all three.
🏠 Consumer: Photo & Personal File Management — ~$3.5B and Growing
The global photo management software market was valued at approximately $3.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $7.8 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of around 9% (Dataintelo, 2025). Over 1.4 trillion photographs are taken globally each year — growing at approximately 10% annually — creating a perpetually expanding need for intelligent organisation. AI-powered features including facial recognition, smart albums, and natural language search are driving consumers to upgrade to premium subscriptions, with providers like Google, Apple, and Amazon all investing heavily. DOORS brings this level of AI-native organisation to any file type, on any device, including fully local and privacy-first deployments that cloud-dependent competitors cannot offer.
🏢 Business: Document Management Systems — $10.5B growing to $21.4B by 2031
The global document management systems market stood at $10.48 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach $21.39 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 12.6% (Mordor Intelligence, January 2026). North America commands 37.5% of global spend. Regulatory pressure is a major driver: the SEC's updates to Rule 17a-4 are forcing financial firms to adopt tamper-proof digital archiving by mid-2026, and the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) mandates robust digital record-keeping across financial services. These mandates are compressing adoption timelines and creating urgent, funded procurement demand for intelligent file management solutions.
🏭 Enterprise: Intelligent Document Processing — $10.6B growing to $91B by 2034
The intelligent document processing (IDP) market — which encompasses AI-powered data extraction and document workflow automation — was valued at $10.57 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $91 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 26.2% (Fortune Business Insights, 2025). The U.S. government alone committed $3.3 billion in AI research and development in 2025, with document intelligence a core component. Gartner forecasts global AI-driven software spending — including document management platforms — to reach $297 billion by 2026. The DOORS Intrinsic/Extrinsic Analyzer Engine, with its ability to find relevant files and extract structured data from within them, directly addresses the data mining and refining capabilities enterprises are procuring at scale.
