USP

Checks claim-to-evidence relationships with inspectable supporting passages.

The product

Key screens: Claim list, evidence viewer, reviewer decisions. Open on a review queue ordered by reviewer-selected priorities. Show each finding beside the original evidence and applicable rule. Provide accept, dismiss and needs-information controls with reasons. A separate report view summarizes confirmed findings and unresolved items, not raw AI flags. In this product, the first view is claim list, followed by evidence viewer and reviewer decisions.

Core functionality

1. Extract factual claims.
2. Resolve cited locations.
3. Compare supporting passages.
4. Flag missing references.
5. Distinguish contradiction.
6. Record lawyer judgments.

Customer workflow

Agree review criteria, ingest a sample, generate candidate findings, inspect supporting evidence, let reviewers confirm or dismiss each item, assign corrections, and recheck the affected material. Start with draft statements and authorized evidence bundles and finish with evidence reference verification report.

AI and human review

Propose possible inconsistencies, omissions and rubric matches. Combine extraction with deterministic checks where rules are explicit. Reviewers make the final judgment. Keep false positives and missed cases visible during evaluation.

Evidence reference verification report

Accounts and administration

Versioned review criteria, evidence links, reviewer decisions, disagreement handling, correction assignments, recheck status and exportable review history.

MVP scope

Begin with legal teams preparing fact-heavy submissions and one recurring use case. Build the first two modules: extract factual claims; resolve cited locations. Provide operator assistance for the third module: compare supporting passages. Deliver evidence reference verification report through a manual review queue. Perform other necessary full-scope functions manually during the pilot. Include all applicable access, accuracy and professional-review controls from the start.

After the MVP is validated

After paid pilots establish value, automate the remaining modules: flag missing references; distinguish contradiction; record lawyer judgments. Add one validated source integration, reusable customer configuration and recurring delivery. Expand to additional teams, document formats or languages only after testing the new scope.

Build dependencies

Evidence coordinates, versioned rules, reviewer decisions and a representative reference set. Measure misses as well as confirmed findings before scaling.

Integrations and data access

Authorized matter files, firm templates and approved legal knowledge collections. Source repositories, task trackers and report exports. Keep findings as review proposals until authorized owners accept the resulting actions. These are candidate integration categories, not verified supported connectors.

Defensibility

A domain-specific review rubric and rights-cleared examples of confirmed defects, false alarms and reviewer reasoning. For this idea, build around checks claim-to-evidence relationships with inspectable supporting passages. This advantage requires execution and accumulated customer trust; the base model alone is not a defensible asset.

Alternatives and positioning

Manual reviewers, checklists, generic scanning tools and specialist audit services. Differentiate on this specific proposed advantage: checks claim-to-evidence relationships with inspectable supporting passages. Test it against the buyer's current method on the same task. Competitor coverage and uniqueness have not been established.

Revenue model and test pricing

Test USD 500-2,000 for a defined audit sample and report. Offer recurring review priced by reviewed items and specialist hours. Software-only access can follow a reliable reviewed service. All prices require validation.

Main delivery costs

Document or media processing, model evaluation, expert review, false-positive handling, rechecks and customer-specific rubric calibration.

Marketing message to test

Evidence reference checker for legal teams preparing fact-heavy submissions. Checks claim-to-evidence relationships with inspectable supporting passages. Demonstrate the claim through an anonymized claim-reference review.

An anonymized claim-reference review

The first 30 days of marketing

1. Week 1: interview five prospective buyers in this segment: legal teams preparing fact-heavy submissions. Ask to see a recent example of the problem and their current process.
2. Week 2: prepare this demonstration using authorized or synthetic material: an anonymized claim-reference review.
3. Week 3: present it through litigation support consultants and seek one narrowly scoped paid pilot.
4. Week 4: review confirmed reference defects, false alarms, total delivery effort and a concrete renewal decision before increasing scope.

Paid pilot and validation

Have a qualified reviewer independently assess the same sample. Compare confirmed findings, false alarms and omissions. Repeat on unseen material before agreeing recurring volume. For this idea, use draft statements and authorized evidence bundles and evaluate evidence reference verification report. Agree success thresholds with the buyer before starting; collect a baseline for confirmed reference defects, false alarms. A positive signal is payment and repeat use with acceptable quality and delivery cost, not a favorable demo reaction alone.

Success metrics

Confirmed reference defects, false alarms

Retention and expansion

Offer recurring reviews and rechecks of previously confirmed issues. Expand document or case types after validating the new rubric with qualified reviewers.

Operating controls and limitations

Preserve matter confidentiality, access boundaries and original evidence. Qualified professionals review legal interpretations and final client documents. Validate source access and reviewer availability during the pilot. Maintain customer-level access, data deletion controls and a record of final approvals.

Investment indication

What it would take to build, from a first MVP to the full product. A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. Running costs (model usage, hosting, reviewer hours) come on top.
