Matter tracker
Internally built in Smartsheet or Excel; out of date within a week of board day.
Portfolio, counsel, contracts, obligations and compliance — one matter graph that gives the GC a real answer when the CEO asks, 'what are we exposed to?'
A GC stitches a matter tracker, a contract repo, an outside-counsel spreadsheet, a compliance calendar and a board deck. Nothing rolls up. The quarterly board answer is improvised.
Internally built in Smartsheet or Excel; out of date within a week of board day.
A DMS folder. Obligations extracted manually by a paralegal if at all.
Email invoices, a quarterly consolidation, no realisation against budget.
A PDF owner's list; the owner left two quarters ago.
AI compresses 80 matters and 200 contracts into 'here is what is open, here is who said what, here is what is due next quarter' - with every number traceable to a source. Litigation intelligence stays source-backed, reviewable, and explicitly non-advisory.
LLM extracts parties, covenants, payment terms, consent clauses, audit rights today. Every duty becomes a task; due dates pulled where the contract states them, placeholders where it doesn't.
AI summarises 80 matter records into a board-ready extract. Every line is traceable to the underlying matter and audit event.
Forum, authority and next-action recommendations with rationale, assumptions, missing facts, and confidence on every option.
Proceeding directions, affidavit gaps, mock-hearing feedback, calibrated historical patterns, and knowledge-graph relationships appear with source links and review state.
Tenant-scoped tenant_ai_policy gate enforced at runtime on the structured-call path (matter summary, draft preview, recommendations, hearing pack). Every LLM call writes a ModelRun audit row with provider/model/tokens/latency/status — visible per matter.
"Of our 83 open matters, 11 have a deadline in the next 30 days. Of our 214 active contracts, 6 have audit rights expiring this quarter and 3 have payment obligations overdue. Here is the audit export covering every AI action that went into those numbers."
A matter is the unit of work. Its stage, documents, counsel, spend and obligations all attach to the same record. The portfolio view is the same record, aggregated.
Open, pending, on hold, closed — with stage, forum and next action in one row per matter.
No more 'last update on Tuesday'. The cockpit reflects state the moment anyone records an event.
Restrict visibility at a matter level when a case is conflicted or sensitive — without reshuffling roles.
Outside counsel becomes a first-class workspace. Assign a matter to a firm, set a budget with alerts, see realisation against it, compare outcomes across firms.
Rate cards, practice areas, historical outcomes, conflict flags — not just a contact list.
Spend cap per matter. Invoices beyond the cap require a GC override, recorded on the audit trail.
See billed, collected and aging per counsel. Compare realisation rates across firms before the next brief.
Every briefed firm gets a magic-link login at /portal/oc — see assigned matters, upload work product, submit invoices, log time. Scope-gated by MatterPortalGrant; the GC sees every action on the audit trail.
The client gets their own /portal view of the matter (Overview, Comms, Hearings, KYC tabs). KYC submit + GC review + audit on every state transition. Built on the same Phase C portal scaffold; no second auth system to operate.
Mark which BNSS / BNS / CrPC / IPC / Constitution sections the matter relies on; the appeal-memorandum draft receives the bare text and quotes verbatim instead of paraphrasing. 91 sections live across 7 central acts.
"We briefed 14 matters to 6 outside counsel this quarter. Realisation against budget is 92%. Two firms came in under; one is trending over — we moved the next brief away from them."
"Let me come back to you with those numbers next week." — a sentence that quietly loses a GC their seat at the table.
Contract storage, LLM-powered clause extraction, obligation tracker, and playbook comparison — all shipped. Upload a vendor MSA, get structured clauses in 30 seconds and a deviation report against the default Indian commercial playbook.
Haiku reads the contract and lifts parties, term, payment, confidentiality, IP, liability, indemnity, governing law, arbitration, force majeure, notices — ~12 structured clauses per contract.
Payment, reporting, notice, renewal and termination duties become tasks with due dates where the contract states them. Surfaces on the matter cockpit.
15-rule default Indian commercial playbook seeds in one click. Sonnet compares each clause against the expected position and flags matched / missing / deviation with severity.
The standard a GC should expect — all shipped: tenant isolation by construction, matter-level ethical walls, audit on every sensitive action, AI policy enforcement at runtime, ClamAV malware scanning fail-closed in prod, every sensitive env in Secret Manager with a documented rotation runbook. Overall enterprise verdict: GO.
Every record carries a tenant id. Storage, query and retrieval filter by it, not only the application layer.
A walled matter is invisible to users outside the wall — including admins. Override, not weaken.
Upload, draft, approval, AI run, recommendation accept, invoice state change — recorded with actor and before/after state.
Tenant-scoped tenant_ai_policy gate runs on every structured AI call (matter summary, draft preview, recommendations, hearing pack). Blocked-model attempts return HTTP 403 with the specific model that was rejected, and a ModelRun audit row records the refusal.
Export the audit trail for a date range as JSONL or CSV. Every sensitive action is recorded with actor, timestamp and before/after state. Recommendation acceptances are distinguishable from human actions.
Cross-tenant training is off by default. Your matters and contracts are not pooled for model training without an explicit written opt-in.
We publish the retrieval metrics. We instrument the product. A 30-minute quality probe runs against the live corpus around the clock.
Your matter documents never leave your workspace for training. Separate from the public authority corpus.
Every substantive answer cites a named judgment, statute or internal precedent. Refusal beats fabrication.
We set up a sandbox with a sample portfolio from your industry — banking, SaaS, pharma, infrastructure — and walk through outside-counsel spend, obligations and the audit export with your team.
