SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns an inbound demand letter into a structured triage: extract key facts and cited authorities, cross-check against your litigation portfolio, assess merit at a routing level, and recommend next steps without pretending to deliver legal advice.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Demand intake extraction: Pulls sender/recipient, delivery and dates, demand type, specific asks, facts alleged, threats, and the demand’s settlement-communication framing.
  • Portfolio cross-checking: Looks for direct matches, type/precedent matches, and subject overlap against the configured matter log for the litigation practice area.
  • Merit triage & response options: Produces a triage rating (substantial/debatable/weak/frivolous) plus 3–4 response posture options (substantive, holding letter, settlement response, ignore + preserve) with a recommendation and deadline triage.
  • Safe verification guardrails: Requires SME verification flags for cited law and stops to prompt additional research choices when citations return insufficient results.
  • Hand-off workflow: Writes a triage document to the configured inbound path and routes next steps to matter-intake or demand-intake when escalation is warranted.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage an inbound demand letter and assess its merit?

To triage a demand letter, you extract key fields like sender, dates, and asks, cross-check against your litigation portfolio, and produce a structured merit rating with response posture options and deadline handling.

What settlement communication posture should I take when responding to a demand letter?

Demand letter triage generates three to four response posture options, including substantive, holding letter, settlement response, or ignore and preserve, helping you select an appropriate settlement communication strategy.

Can I cross-check a demand letter against my existing litigation portfolio?

Yes, demand triage cross-checks the letter against configured litigation portfolio logs to identify direct matches, type or precedent matches, and subject overlaps for routing-level assessment.

How do I handle deadline routing for demand letters with cited authorities?

Deadline routing is enforced through the triage artifact, which flags SME verification requirements for cited authorities and prompts additional research when citations return insufficient results.

What's the best way to route a demand letter that requires escalation to matter intake?

The triage process writes a structured markdown artifact to your inbound path and routes escalation handoffs to matter-intake or demand-intake based on the assessed merit level.

Does demand triage require SME verification before recommending next steps?

Yes, safe verification guardrails require SME verification flags for cited law and prompt additional research choices when citation results are insufficient, ensuring recommendations are validated.
