Law firms and in-house counsel
The boundary is physical.
For a legal practice, the confidentiality of the file is not a feature of the software. It is the obligation the firm is paid to keep, and it does not bend to a vendor's data-processing addendum.
The situation
A file can be someone's liberty, their company, or their family. The duty attaching to it is personal to the advocate and cannot be delegated to an API.
Meanwhile the work that consumes junior time — review, abstraction, first drafts — is precisely the work a well-fitted local model does competently under supervision.
What we build
Matter review
Review runs inside the boundary, against the firm's own index. Privilege is enforced by the absence of a route out, not by a configuration flag.
Drafting in the tone of the house
The letter goes out sounding like the firm that sent it, because the model was fitted on the firm's own correspondence.
Contract abstraction
Obligations, dates, caps and liabilities extracted to a schedule where every row points at the clause it came from.
Discovery triage
Relevance and privilege ranked with the reasoning shown and logged, so the decisions are reviewable rather than opaque.
Privilege cannot be restored once waived
Transmitting privileged material to a third party is not a risk to be priced; in many jurisdictions it is a waiver that cannot be undone. A local runtime is the only arrangement where the question does not arise.
What changes
- Junior time moves from reading to judgment
- First drafts arrive in the firm's register, not a generic one
- Every extraction is checkable against the clause behind it
