We eliminate spreadsheet errors, resolve duplicate records without silent data loss, and deliver mathematical verification receipts for businesses, bookkeepers, and operators who require reliable data.
All spreadsheet cleaning packages include non-destructive duplicate detection, cell-level change logs, exceptions reports, and mathematical reconciliation. Choose your tier below to order directly via Fiverr escrow protection.
Ideal for small tabular files needing whitespace normalization, duplicate flagging, and date standardization.
Comprehensive data normalization, duplicate detection, and conflict isolation for operational datasets.
Full-scale standardization, deduplication, and schema validation for customer, inventory, or order catalogs.
Operating in the Ottawa National Capital Region? We offer a local starter package for small business operators, bookkeepers, and trades: CA$29 fixed for 1 UTF-8 CSV (up to 100 rows, 6 columns, 1 MiB) with 2 agreed cleanup rules and an exceptions review sheet.
Instant purchase via secure Stripe-hosted payment pages. Scope confirmation and secure transfer instructions sent by email within one business day post-checkout (direct order terms; not platform escrow).
One CSV file up to 50 data rows. A cleaned copy, change log with every original value, and exceptions report.
Stripe Checkout (CA$15) →One CSV file up to 2,000 data rows. Read-only report of duplicate groups, row numbers, and input SHA-256 fingerprint.
Stripe Checkout (CA$29) →Ranked audit and column profile (up to 2,000 rows; 100 rows/30 cols/1 MiB). Read-only data health findings.
Stripe Checkout (CA$39) →Automatic duplicate removal can delete entire rows before conflicting values have been reviewed. We take a non-destructive approach: records are preserved, formatting changes are logged, and duplicates or conflicting values are isolated in an exceptions report for your final decision.
Transform messy exports into structured, uniform datasets. We normalize padding whitespace, align inconsistent dates into standard ISO formats (YYYY-MM-DD), and standardize numeric delimiters with a reversible cell-by-cell modification trail.
Prepare reliable tabular records for internal databases, ERPs, or bookkeeping workflows. We structure multi-source CSV files, enforce required headers, preserve leading zeros, and neutralize CSV formula injection hazards.
Event Horizon Core v0.1 is OBSIDIAN's deterministic data processing and verification engine. It replaces unpredictable AI heuristics with audited, rule-based transformation and rigorous mathematical verification.
Every dataset is strictly validated against required headers, character encoding, delimiter integrity, and contract thresholds before processing begins.
Transformations—whitespace normalization, ISO date standardization, and spreadsheet injection neutralization—execute deterministically without opaque hallucinations or unlogged modifications.
Exact and conflicting duplicates are isolated into an exceptions register for human sign-off rather than being silently deleted or guessed.
Every run generates an immutable event-horizon-receipt.json with SHA-256 digests and mathematical proof that input records reconcile with output records.
Every Event Horizon execution delivers four distinct, review-ready files:
cleaned.csv)
Your original tabular data, standardized and preserved with zero rows deleted.
changes.csv)
Every adjustment recorded cell-by-cell showing row, column, rule, and original value.
exceptions.csv)
Duplicates, contradictory records, and ambiguous fields isolated for your review.
summary.md)
Mathematical reconciliation proving input rows match output rows with cryptographic SHA-256 fingerprinting.
Inspect our exact synthetic demonstration data. See how conventional deduplication deletes critical records, and how our audit process preserves your data without erasing a single row.

Founder & Principal Systems Engineer
📍 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
OBSIDIAN Venture Systems is an independent operational technology company headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, founded by Dustin Rebellato. We specialize in precision spreadsheet data cleanup, non-destructive duplicate audits, and mathematical data verification for businesses, bookkeepers, and operators who require reliable records.
Dustin’s background bridges five years of demanding physical operations in construction, demolition, and document control with competitive athletic coaching and computational data architecture. In physical construction, unverified assumptions lead to structural failures. The same law governs business data: a single corrupted delimiter, dropped leading zero, or silently deleted customer record can cripple operations.
“Less waste. More intelligence. Greater human benefit. We do not invent complexity to justify software fees. We build lean, verifiable systems that solve real operational problems and keep humans in complete control of their decisions.”
Every project is powered by Event Horizon Core under strict confidentiality protocols: zero third-party AI exposure, isolated local workstation execution, mathematical verification, and signed cryptographic deletion receipts.
