AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Extract candidate obligations without independently interpreting legal effect. Keep model suggestions separate from verified facts. Link factual outputs to authorized input evidence and show missing information explicitly. Use deterministic checks for counts, dates, identifiers and arithmetic where applicable. A designated reviewer validates consequential outputs and signs off the delivered result.
What your team sees
Key screens: Obligation calendar, Completion evidence, Counsel review. Use a queue or timeline as the opening view, with clear owners, dates and current states. Each case opens into its source context, proposed actions and discussion. Give external participants a limited form or status page. Make the next required action visible without opening every record. Open with obligation calendar; move into completion evidence for the detailed task; finish in counsel review for review and handoff. Show the source record, uncertainty and approval status beside each proposed output.
Accounts and administration
Role permissions, task ownership, deadlines, reminders, approval gates, exception handling, action history, duplicate prevention and reversible configuration. Include organization-scoped access, named project owners, review queues, usage limits, export history and retention settings. Never reuse private customer material for other accounts without permission.
Integrations and data access
Authorized matter files, firm templates and approved legal knowledge collections. Calendars, email, task managers and relevant business records. Use draft actions and supervised handoffs first, then enable only specifically authorized writes. Begin with uploads and exports of executed agreements and counsel-approved obligation lists. Any named system or connector is a candidate requiring current access and compatibility checks; no live connection is included by default.
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will litigation legal operations teams use it to solve "nonfinancial settlement tasks are forgotten after execution"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree the acceptance criteria, input limits and reviewer responsibilities before starting.
- Measure, then decide. Track unverified obligations and follow-up time. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Costed pilot: Counsel validates obligations and dates before tracking. Start with one buyer organization and a bounded set of representative inputs. Implement the first two modules: extract proposed task dates; link relevant clauses. Support the third task through an assisted review queue: assign approved owners. Handle the remaining required functions manually until validated. Include input upload, source references, user correction, a reviewer approval step and export of counsel-reviewed settlement completion record. Authentication, account isolation, deletion controls and basic operational logging are included. Specialized production certification, live write integrations and broader rollout are not included unless explicitly stated.
After the MVP. After paying customers repeatedly accept counsel-reviewed settlement completion record, automate request evidence; flag unresolved steps; export completion status. Add one tested read integration, reusable customer configuration and scheduled repeat delivery. Increase supported formats or teams only when evaluation cases and reviewer capacity cover the new scope. Counsel validates obligations and dates before tracking.
What the build depends on. Explicit state definitions, owner mapping, approval rules, idempotent actions, notifications and recovery procedures. Workflow reliability matters more than fluent text. Obtain representative authorized inputs, an agreed review rubric and a buyer-side owner. Specific scope: Counsel validates obligations and dates before tracking.

Pricing to test
Test USD 750-2,500 setup plus USD 200-800 monthly for one bounded workflow and team. Cap case volume and implementation scope. Larger operational integrations need separate quotes. Prices are hypotheses. For this buyer, package the first sale around track one synthetic agreement and the defined counsel-reviewed settlement completion record. Record actual review effort before offering a recurring allowance. The commercial pilot fee is distinct from the platform development budget.
Message to test
Evidence of settlement follow-through beyond payment tracking. Demonstrate the result with track one synthetic agreement for litigation legal operations teams. Use a concrete before-and-after example without promising unmeasured savings.
Where to find buyers
In-house litigation teams and dispute resolution firms
Lead magnet
Track one synthetic agreement
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five prospective buyers from litigation legal operations teams and inspect how they handle nonfinancial settlement tasks are forgotten after execution.
- Week 2: prepare track one synthetic agreement using authorized or synthetic material.
- Week 3: share the demonstration through in-house litigation teams and dispute resolution firms and seek one bounded paid pilot.
- Week 4: measure unverified obligations and follow-up time, review delivery effort and ask for a repeat purchase. This is a validation schedule, not a promise that the full product can be built in thirty days.
Paid pilot
Agree the acceptance criteria, input limits and reviewer responsibilities before starting. Run track one synthetic agreement and deliver counsel-reviewed settlement completion record. Compare unverified obligations and follow-up time with the buyer's current process on comparable cases; include corrections, missed issues and reviewer time. Seek payment and repeat use. Stop or revise the scope if data access, accuracy or unit economics fail.
Success metrics
Unverified obligations and follow-up time
Retention and expansion
Build repeat use around counsel-reviewed settlement completion record. Save approved configurations and review decisions with permission, revisit unresolved exceptions and show progress on unverified obligations and follow-up time. Offer a recurring volume allowance after repeat demand; expand to adjacent tasks only when the buyer asks and delivery quality remains acceptable.
Why clients would pick it
Customer-specific workflow rules, reliable handoffs, operational history and integrations that make the service part of daily work. For this concept, accumulate permissioned examples and reviewer corrections around evidence of settlement follow-through beyond payment tracking. The durable asset is reliable task-specific execution and trusted customer configuration, not access to a general-purpose AI model.
Alternatives and positioning
Shared inboxes, spreadsheets, task boards and existing workflow automation products. Position this concept around evidence of settlement follow-through beyond payment tracking. Compare it against the customer's current process on the same representative task. This is proposed differentiation; no exhaustive competitor study or uniqueness claim has been established.
Main delivery costs
Workflow configuration, integration maintenance, model calls, notification delivery, exception support and monitoring. Initial validation additionally budgets for lawyer review. Track model usage, storage, reviewer minutes, exception handling and customer support per accepted deliverable.
Safeguards
Preserve matter confidentiality, access boundaries and original evidence. Qualified professionals review legal interpretations and final client documents. Counsel validates obligations and dates before tracking. Require appropriate access and publication approval. Preserve source material, label AI drafts and make corrections traceable. Measure false positives and missed cases alongside speed.
