Every brief AI writes passes five checks before a court sees it.

One workspace. Every path ends at the gate.

A question arrives in Slack. An agent drafts the answer. The gate checks every citation against the record. A partner signs a specific version. The client sees only what survived. Verity runs that whole path — intake to filing to the deadline after — and the gate is the one door everything walks through.

• The Slack front door

  Legal questions arrive where the business already asks them. Each becomes a tracked request, and the reply that goes back is drafted, verified, and approved — nothing posts pre-gate.

• Matter workspaces

  Threads, documents, privilege classification, and a live audit trail — every artifact versioned, every decision on the record.

• Verified workflows

  Build multi-step legal workflows on a visual canvas — draft a client alert, review an NDA against a checklist. Every workflow that produces a filing artifact must pass a gate node before it can complete.

• Agents with accountability

  Each agent carries an editable charter, guardrails, and a trust level that sets how much the gate lets it do on its own. No agent publishes without clearing it.

• One approvals inbox

  Every pending decision across the firm — sign-offs, client sends, filings, paused workflow gates — in a single queue. Resolve it there; the work resumes.

• Deadlines with gate status

  Obligations, renewals, hearings, and filing dates on one calendar — each filing showing where its verification stands. Not a scheduler; a filing-risk view.

• A client portal that can't leak drafts

  Clients see published work only — reviewed, verified, signed. Every document carries its governance line: who signed, when, and how many citations were checked.

• Precedent memory

  Every accept, reject, and negotiate decision becomes searchable history — your firm's positions, queryable by clause, deal type, and outcome.

• Evidence you can open

  Every verification decision expands: the method, the proposition, the ground-truth snapshot, and each model family's vote. Not a green checkmark — a record.

The gate: 5/5 or nothing.

Every artifact has to clear five conditions before sign-off. The gate fails loud; nothing ships past "needs your sign-off" until every condition holds.

• Existence verified

  The citation resolves to a real case via exact court-record lookup — not name matching, not paraphrase. Reporter slots, not captions. If the cited authority is fabricated or hallucinated, the gate flags it before you ever see "verified."

• 5/5 consensus on the proposition

  Five model families vote yes or no on every proposition. 5/5 yes, or the artifact doesn't ship.

• Anchor integrity

  Quoted text in the brief matches the source byte-for-byte. Anchor drift = flagged. Your quoted authority stays your quoted authority.

• Version-bound sign-off

  Sign-off freezes to a specific artifact version. Edit the document; sign-off voids. Re-run, re-sign. No retroactive greens, no "approved" that didn't happen.

Why the malpractice carrier cares.

Existence checks are now a commodity — CourtListener ships them free. What no AI drafting tool does is the attestation: a signed, version-locked record of which panel verified which citation on which artifact, frozen at sign-off. That's the layer that survives the carrier's audit. That's what makes an AI-drafted brief insurable. Without it, every AI-assisted filing is a coverage question.

The gate is an engine, not a feature.

Today it checks briefs against the court record. The same machinery — ground-truth lookup, multi-model consensus, accountable sign-off — points anywhere your answers must be provable: your policies, your playbook, your prior positions. For in-house teams, that means every answer legal sends the business carries its evidence with it.

Your AI's briefs deserve a defense.
