 Auditors can verify an exported audit log excerpt against a published cryptographic receipt without running the application server or accessing the database:
 
 ```bash
-npx ts-node scripts/verify-audit-receipt.ts --receipt <path-or-url-to-receipt> --excerpt <path-or-url-to-excerpt>
+npm run verify:audit-receipt -- --receipt <path-or-url-to-receipt> --excerpt <path-or-url-to-excerpt>
 ```

 ```bash
-npx ts-node scripts/verify-audit-receipt.ts <receipt.json> <excerpt.json-or-jsonl>
+npm run verify:audit-receipt -- <receipt.json> <excerpt.json-or-jsonl>
