SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly triage an inbound demand letter by extracting key fields, checking prior matters for overlap, assessing likely merit (without pretending to be legal advice), and recommending the most appropriate next workflow action.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inbound demand triage: Extract sender/recipient, demand type, facts alleged, threats, deadlines, and settlement-communication framing from the incoming document.
  • Portfolio cross-check: Scan your litigation portfolio log for direct matches, type/precedent patterns, and subject overlap to decide whether to open a new matter, amend an existing one, or link related matters.
  • Merit posture and response options: Provide a structured merit read (e.g., substantial/debatable/weak/frivolous) and present response strategies (substantive response, holding letter, settlement response, or ignore + preserve).
  • Safety/verification guardrails: Flags cited authorities for SME verification and includes explicit instructions to stop and ask for tool/web verification when coverage is thin.
