# Minimal input record

> A synthetic input record for mapping and validation planning.

This example shows how an external system can describe submitted material without assuming a live write endpoint. Use it as a shape reference for mapping, validation, and agent context. It is not a production API request, and every value is synthetic.

## Example

```json title="minimal-input-record.json" theme={null}
{
  "schemaVersion": "0",
  "engagementId": "eng_synthetic_001",
  "source": "partner",
  "submittedAt": "2026-07-06T14:30:00Z",
  "documents": [
    {
      "documentId": "doc_synthetic_001",
      "kind": "export",
      "label": "Trial balance export, 2026-Q2"
    }
  ],
  "notes": "Synthetic example for docs only.",
  "metadata": {
    "partnerSystem": "Tyrell Systems CRM",
    "clientReference": "client_tyrell",
    "serviceLine": "crypto_assurance"
  }
}
```

## What to inspect

| Field           | Purpose                                                                |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `schemaVersion` | Identifies the documented shape.                                       |
| `engagementId`  | Connects the record to a Soteris engagement.                           |
| `source`        | Names the submitting actor category.                                   |
| `documents`     | Lists submitted material without exposing file contents.               |
| `metadata`      | Carries partner-safe mapping context, such as the partner system name. |

<Info>
  The example describes shape only. It grants no write access, no upload access, and no review approval. The record contract is [Input records](/records/input-record).
