§ How It Works
You are not driving eight tools. You open a matter, drop the papers in, and press one button. Everything below that button is described further down, but you do not have to know any of it to use this.
In full. There is no fourth step.
Give it a name. Say which court you are in and at what stage. That is the only question that really matters, and it takes one dropdown — a High Court appeal is argued completely differently from a trial, and the workspace needs to know which.
Pick which pile they belong to — FIR, police papers, the order you are challenging, or your own — then drag the files in. Scans, photographs, mixed formats, forty pages of photocopies. Nothing needs renaming or retyping.
A numbered list appears — step 3 of 8, step 4 of 8 — and you press Continue until it finishes. It reads every page, works out where you stand, asks you anything the papers cannot answer, and then argues the case in front of a bench.
That is it. If you remember nothing else from this page: open a matter, drop the papers in, press Run this matter, keep pressing Continue.
You press Continue; these are what it is doing each time. Two of them stop and wait for you, and the screen says so plainly when they do.
Done the moment you create it.
Waits for you. Nothing can be read until something is on the file.
Scans are transcribed a few pages at a time. You watch the count climb — page 12 of 48.
What each document is, who it names, what dates it fixes, which sections it cites.
Each document read on its own, then weighed together: strengths, weaknesses, gaps, odds.
Waits for you. The things only you know. You may skip them, and it says so.
Your advocate and theirs, twelve turns, then the bench gives reasons.
Export both documents as PDFs, and verify every citation before you use them.
Close the tab in the middle of a forty-page read and it pauses on the page it reached. Come back tomorrow, press Continue, and it carries on from there. Nothing is lost and nothing has to be redone.
No scheduled jobs, no background service, no configuration. The trade is that the tab has to stay open while a step is running — and the screen says so rather than letting you find out by closing it.
You get the actual reason, and the button becomes Try that step again. It stops rather than pressing on, because a matter that looks finished and is not is worse than one that admits it stopped.
Every point names the document it came from and how heavily it weighs. Each weakness carries how the other side will use it, and what would blunt it.
Pleaded but not produced, asserted but not evidenced. Stated as gaps, never filled in by inference.
The figure, how much weight it can carry, the reasoning behind it, and what would move it and by how much.
Both advocates and the bench, as an exchange you can read. Exportable as a PDF for the matter file.
| Citations | Every one is labelled unverified. Nothing here reads a law report. Confirm each against the primary source before it goes near a filing. |
| Figures in scans | Machine transcription of a photocopy can misread a digit. Check any FIR number, section, date or amount against the original page. |
| The percentage | It is an estimate on the papers you supplied, not a forecast. When confidence is low the screen says so, and it should not be repeated to a client on its own. |
The honest test is a matter whose weaknesses you already know, and seeing whether it finds them. Ninety-nine pounds, nothing monthly, nothing to cancel.
