- Ingestion pipeline for internal document corpora (contracts, briefs, protocols) with versioning
- Cited-answer interface where every claim is a clickable link back to source paragraph
- Calibrated confidence scores that surface when the answer relies on weak retrievals
- Client-ready memo export with citation footnotes automatically attached
Law and medical practices are adopting AI research assistants but losing billable hours and risking sanctions when the model invents a citation; regulators are paying closer attention.
