LEED v4.1 BD+C certification remains a document-intensive process that requires reviewers to read hundreds of pages of project evidence and apply credit-specific threshold logic by hand. This paper investigates whether small, locally deployed language models can perform meaningful screening of LEED documentation and how deterministic symbolic components should share that work. A neuro-symbolic pipeline is introduced that aligns project PDFs to LEED credit sections, retrieves evidence with credit-aware keyword signatures, verifies compliance with a locally hosted 4-billion-parameter language model, and applies a LEED-specific numeric checker to quantitative thresholds. Experiments on four university buildings (484 PDFs, 153 credit-level decisions) show that a 4-billion-parameter model (gemma3:4b) is the strongest text-only core verifier, achieving 67.3% accuracy and outperforming a larger 8-billion-parameter model (llama3.1:8b) in this task. The deterministic numeric checker corrects arithmetic errors on key quantitative credits, moving EA-p2 from 50% to 100% accuracy and improving several other credits when required values are reliably extracted. At the same time, the full neuro-symbolic configuration achieves 61.6% overall accuracy, trailing the best text-only baseline due to extraction failures and conservative behavior on qualitative categories. Systematic ablations show that adding low-resolution drawing images (150-300 dpi) consistently reduces accuracy, and that prompt effectiveness depends on the building's ground-truth PASS rate: rubric prompts perform best on documentation-rich projects, while chain-of-thought prompts perform best on documentation-lean projects. Within the specific scope of LEED v4.1 BD+C compliance verification over raw project documentation, this pipeline and its baselines provide an initial reproducible reference point for both accuracy and failure modes.

This paper addresses the remote verification of the authenticity of Optically Variable Devices (commonly known as holograms) on identity documents. Typically placed over the cardholder's photo, these devices provide strong and easily verifiable security for human inspection but pose challenges for automated verification. Existing approaches easily cover static frauds (e.g. paper photocopy) and can be evaluated for such, but their capacity to detect real, dynamic fraud cases (e.g. handcrafted hologram) has not been evaluated to date because of the lack of public datasets. Furthermore, they are usually trained to detect known attack types, and few of them can generalize to new, unseen attacks. This work features three contributions to address these limitations: 1) a new public dataset, MIDV-DynAttack, which extends the existing MIDV-Holo dataset with realistic, static and dynamic attacks against identity document specimens, tripling the number of attack samples compared to the original dataset, 2) a novel verification method which can assess the authenticity of a specific hologram thanks to the analysis of its dynamic behavior and appearance, can be trained without dynamic attack samples, and exhibits new state-of-the-art performance, 3) a benchmark of existing approaches which follows a clear evaluation protocol and emphasizes the inability of other approaches to deal with dynamic attacks, as well as new challenging attacks to deal with.
