interop

Own the AI integration layer.

MCP is the standard for connecting AI assistants to firm data. Tools-only servers aren't enough; renting it piecemeal from rotating vendors is a structural mistake. A brief on what MCP offers, why a firm-hosted gateway is the right shape, and what safe means in legal-specific terms.

skillcheck

Evaluate AI skills using defined rubrics.

A bake-off harness for AI legal skills. Run controlled evaluations across models and prompts using researched “model-as-judge” techniques and severity-weighted rubrics.

harvest

Turn law firm websites into structured profiles.

An automated harvester that turns public firm websites into structured profiles — people, practices, offices, credentials — refreshed on a schedule and ready to feed downstream data and AI workflows.

Adaptive interview and insights platform.

An agentic interviewer and researcher that gathers information at scale through natural conversation — optimizing question structure against interview-defined data targets, previous answers, tone, and pace. An experiment in replacing rigid, tedious survey-based research.
