What has to be true before it leaves

Nothing leaves unexamined, and what examines it depends on what it is. A motion is measured against the rule of the court it is bound for. A land contract, an NDA, a licence or an employment agreement is measured against the statute that makes it enforceable — and against how it reads from the other side. Two batteries, because the ways a court paper fails and the ways an agreement fails are not the same ways.

Court papers

• Authority and citation18

  No case is cited until the opinion has been read in full — not a headnote, not a snippet, not a summary. Each is then checked for what the majority actually held, whether the court reached it, and whether it is still good law.

• Argument and craft15

  The standard of review, who carries the burden and the relief sought are each stated with the authority that sets them. Every authority the other side cited is answered rather than left silent.

• Form, forum and filing11

  Caption, margins, page limits and the filing packet measured against that court’s own rule — and a refusal to draft into a court whose procedure we do not hold, rather than applying another state’s by default.

• Source and provenance8

  Every fact traces to the document it came from. A search result, an internal note or an earlier draft of our own is a lead to read, never a source to cite.

• Adversarial review7

  Someone goes looking for what kills the argument before opposing counsel does, including the authority that cuts against us.

• Exhibits and service5

  Exhibits numbered without collision, legible at the size they will be read, and reconciled against what the paper says was served on whom.

• Release control5

  Nothing regenerates after signature, and nothing leaves without the approval on the record. A signed paper is frozen.

• Dates and clocks3

  No “next Tuesday”. Every deadline computed from the rule that sets it and carrying that rule’s citation, so a date can be checked instead of trusted.

• Parties and privacy2

  Every party’s identity and role verified from a primary source — no title inferred from a name — and personal data held out of what gets filed.

• Numbers2

  Every figure reconciles against its exhibit, and any amount the court may ask about is on one page before anyone stands up.

76 stages in 10 lanes, every one invoked on every court paper, counted from the running gate on 2026-09-21. A draft that fails a stage does not leave, and the stage that stopped it is named in the record rather than summarised. If the gate changes and this is not re-measured, the number is wrong and the date says so.

Business paper

A land contract, an NDA, a licence, an employment or services agreement, an operating agreement. It never touches the court battery — it has no caption to lock and no exhibits to reconcile. What can void it is a statute, and what can cost you is a term you agreed to.

• What kind of paper this is, and whether any blank was left unfilled

• Who is signing, in what capacity, and whether they can bind the party named

• The statutory elements this instrument must contain to be enforceable

• The clause families a paper of this kind is expected to carry

• How the paper reads from the other side — one-sidedness in either direction

• Terms that have taken us before, scored from our own executed deals

• What executed contracts in the corpus do where this draft is silent

• How the market drafts these clauses — context that never blocks

8 phases over 6 kinds of instrument, checking 30 clause families against 14 statutes read from their own text. One of the eight scores the paper from the counterparty’s side: a contract that is one-sided in our favour is a contract that gets renegotiated, and that is a defect too.

1. Read in full

   No snippet, headnote or summary stands in for an opinion. An authority enters your paper only after its full text has been read and recorded.

2. Every citation resolved

   Every citation is resolved against 18,124,047 reporter citations before it reaches you.

3. Nothing files unexamined

   Authority, argument, form, forum, sources, exhibits, service, dates, parties and numbers, measured on the finished page the way a clerk measures it.

Every matter kept separate

Each matter has its own file and its own record. One client’s papers cannot be opened from another client’s work — not by accident, and not by anyone.

Every claim opens to its source

Open any authority in a draft and read the passage it came from, in full. A claim you cannot open is a claim you should not file.

It refuses work that will not hold

Before a draft is yours, the checks read every authority end to end. A citation that will not survive being read back does not pass — and it tells you why.

It runs on your own computer

Your matter file, evidence and drafts are kept on your machine, not on someone else’s server. When you ask the assistant about a matter, the context it needs goes with the question; on the sovereign tier it is answered only on hardware we own.
