A company is its record.
The documents the law expects to exist, in the order it expects them, agreeing with each other. This is what depth keeps, and how.
The 15-section spine
Fifteen sections, in the order a lawyer or auditor opens them. Every document you sign or upload is filed into one, so the book is complete without anyone assembling it.

Registers that agree with themselves
Record a transfer once. One holder's line goes down, the other's goes up, and the total doesn't move. The certificates and the minute book entry follow from the same record.
Signing, with a certificate
Each signer's identity, the time, their IP address and the document's SHA-256. Change the file by a byte and the fingerprint no longer matches.

Encrypted, and kept in Canada
Documents are encrypted with AES-256 before they reach storage, on servers in Canada. A Canadian company's record stays in the country it's registered in.
Forms filled from the record
42 regulatory forms catalogued; depth fills 38 from what it already holds. Deadlines are computed the same way, never typed.
“There are many other steps that must be considered when incorporating, for example setting up minute or records books, establishing a central securities register, issuing share certificates, getting consents from directors, etc. Corporate Registry staff are pleased to help you file the incorporation application, but cannotprovideyouwithguidanceoradviceontheseotheressentialsteps.”
The Registry takes $351.50 and says in writing that the rest is up to you. That gap is what depth is for.
