Aster Ridge v. Cobalt MeridianFictional demonstrationv1 · original retained

01 / 07 · The matter

A discovery gap. A motion to prepare.

Bring the requests, responses and conferral into one working record.

Draft a motion to compel the missing implementation records. Tie each factual assertion to the record, address the objections and conferral, and prepare narrow proposed relief for my review.

Requests for productionEx. A · p. 4 · Request 14; p. 5 · Request 17
Responses and objectionsEx. B · p. 6 · Response 14; p. 7 · Response 17

Inspect the disputed discovery record
Ex. A · Requests for production

p. 4 · Request 14; p. 5 · Request 17

Request 14: implementation exception reports for the disputed project. Request 17: correspondence transmitting or discussing those reports.

Defines the discovery sought; does not establish that every requested record exists.

Ex. B · Responses and objections

p. 6 · Response 14; p. 7 · Response 17

Subject to the stated scope and privilege objections, responsive nonprivileged documents have been produced.

The responding party’s position, not an independently verified completeness finding.

Ex. C · Conferral correspondence

pp. 2–3

Counsel discussed limiting the search to the project manager and implementation lead, the project repository and their project correspondence. Search completion and the privilege objection remain disputed.

Supports the proposed narrowing. Counsel must confirm the actual conferral and any certification.

Ex. D · Production index and project email

pp. 1–2 · index; p. 3 · email

The project email references an exception-report attachment. No corresponding attachment is identified in the supplied index.

A gap in the supplied record; not proof of withholding, destruction or a complete production search.

03 / 07 · Independent analyses

Two analyses. Keep the difference.

Independent positions stay visible for counsel to inspect and resolve.

Illustrative dual-AI workflow · not a live model run

Branch A

Ask for the implementation record.

Compel all implementation records; the missing attachment suggests incomplete production.

Branch B

Keep relief within the disputed requests.

Narrow relief to Requests 14 and 17; the index alone cannot establish intentional withholding.

Conflict retained:

Scope of relief and the inference of intent require counsel’s decision. Agreement does not establish correctness.

Coverage and unavailable states

Curated fictional branches, not provider output. A live run identifies each branch’s actual inputs. Missing or unavailable branches mean incomplete dual analysis, never a successful comparison.

Explore how chat coordinates the full workflow

One workspace, every workflow

Chat is the workhorse. Governance is built into every run.

Describe the outcome. DraftCounsel binds the matter, selects the governed workflow, pins real filings, runs each live engine, verifies the authorities, and asks for your decision.

“Review this draft motion, compare it against the pinned Florida foundations, run the Opposing Counsel Pass, verify every authority, and prepare a redline plus a clean version for review.”

  • Workflow identified
  • Matter scope confirmed
  • Sources pinned
  • Configured engines completed
  • Material disagreements reconciled
  • Citations verified
  • Attorney decision requested

You need one workspace — not a shelf of separate tools. Every workflow below starts from the same governed composer, carries the same provenance, and lands on the sameAdjudication deskwhere you rule on the record.

4 engines by their real names, selected per document. When commerce is enabled, you can check current engine availability and any upgrade price before choosing your run.

How it works

Start with suitable foundations.

Every premium run stands on real, publicly available filings — selected for relevance, jurisdiction, document type, authority, and recency; pinned by SHA-256; modeled, not copied, and kept out of your citations.

  1. Matter facts

  2. Jurisdiction-matched public filings

  3. Pinned source provenance

  4. Independent AI analyses

  5. Citation and authority verification

  6. Conflict comparison and synthesis

  7. Attorney decision and audit record

24 litigation filing types ground on the public court record today — ranked on a locality ladder that puts your own courthouse first and graded by the court’s rulings; reviewed county exemplar packs, a governed public-record harvest, and licensed state-court connectors extend the ladder as each clears. Transactional drafts model real material agreements from the SEC’s public record — the agreements public companies actually file. Selection uses objective signals — never firm-name rankings or endorsements.

Drafts for the supervising attorney — every filing carries the pending sign-off caveat until counsel rules, and the platform does not file. Court-issued documents are honestly marked as the court's to enter.

Verify all of it yourself: coverage · trust center · published evals · live engine status

Check the authority behind the argument

Cite Check: a citation needs more than correct formatting.

Inspect reporters, short forms and pinpoints. When existence verification is available, compare supported case citations with CourtListener records. A missing match remains unresolved; a found opinion does not establish that it supports your proposition.

Keep the downloadable citation checklist for counsel’s licensed research and currentness review. Source outages and unchecked citations remain visible.

Illustrated review · no live lookup

Three distinct questions

Is the citation formatted correctly?
Reporter spacing, short-form context and pinpoint structure need their own checks.
Does the cited opinion exist?
Matched, unmatched and unavailable are different outcomes.
Does it support this motion now?
Read the holding, procedural posture and subsequent treatment. Existence alone does not answer this.

Confidentiality

Private, account-bound, and deliberately shared.

Workspace records persist behind authenticated account ownership. Matter and firm access is granted explicitly, public sharing is opt-in, and model providers process only the content needed for the selected workflow.

Production data access is enforced through row-level policies and server-side authorization; export and sharing routes re-check scope on every request. Retention, deletion, subprocessors, and incident controls are documented on the trust center and the computed engine status page.

The Drafting Workspace

Draft, Revise, Review, Redline and the Opposing Counsel Pass™ share your matter context. Ask counsel, attach files, images or folders, and keep each case separate. Export Word or PDF and install the desktop app.

The proprietary exemplar program selects suitable document foundations, modeled, not copied. Inspect their provenance and coverage limits. The dual program keeps material disagreement visible for your individual decisions; availability depends on both required engines.

Litigation foundations cover 24 filing types. Transactional lanes use their appropriate agreement sources. Caption and service details come from structured inputs; counsel reviews the resulting document.

Questions counsel actually asks

What is DraftCounsel?▼

DraftCounsel (draftcounsel.io) is an AI drafting and review workstation for licensed attorneys, built by LegalDraft Technologies LLC. The engine produces a complete, state-tailored first draft with statutory citations, then attacks its own work with the Opposing Counsel Pass™ — and every finding routes through the attorney's approval workstation. Nothing finalizes without attorney sign-off, on an immutable audit trail.

Is DraftCounsel affiliated with draftcounsel.co?▼

No. DraftCounsel™ (draftcounsel.io), by LegalDraft Technologies LLC, is not affiliated with, connected to, or endorsed by draftcounsel.co or any other similarly named service. The official DraftCounsel attorney workstation is at draftcounsel.io; the companion consumer platform is LegalDraft (legaldraft.io).

How much does DraftCounsel cost?▼

Per-matter, one-time pricing — no subscriptions, no seats, no minimums. Matter Review (rigorous AI review of outside paper through the approval workstation) is $199 per matter. Matter Draft (the full drafting cycle, brief to adjudicated final, with Word export) is $249 per matter. Every plan includes the complete engine, the Opposing Counsel Pass™, Cite Check, the workstation, and the audit trail. Current checkout availability is always shown live on the pricing page.

Who is DraftCounsel for?▼

Licensed attorneys and their supervised staff. DraftCounsel is professional drafting software — the workstation assumes a lawyer is making the calls, and the audit trail exists to prove that a lawyer did.

What does the engine actually produce?▼

A complete first draft — numbered operative sections, recitals, protective boilerplate, signature blocks — drafted to your governing state with statutory citations and grounded in primary-source per-state law: verified execution formalities (witnesses, notarization, recording), statutory limits (security deposits, interest-rate caps), and a deterministic cross-document consistency check. Plus the Opposing Counsel Pass™ on that same draft: risk flags, missing protections, and negotiation points, each routed to your approval rail as an adjudicable finding.

What is the Opposing Counsel Pass™?▼

Your own personal red team, built into every draft. The moment your draft is finished, the engine switches sides and re-reads its own work as hostile opposing counsel — attacking ambiguities, over-reach, missing caps, absent carve-outs, and anything the opposition could use — and files every objection as a finding only you can dispose of. In a real production run it drafted a venue clause, then objected to its own work: "the single most critical blank in the document — may render the venue clause unenforceable." It runs on every draft automatically, with no opt-out, and on outside paper you upload too. No other drafting platform makes its AI testify against itself.

Does DraftCounsel check my citations?▼

Yes — Cite Check reads every citation in your brief and checks it against the Bluebook: reporter abbreviations and spacing, short forms (id./supra), pinpoints, and Table T6 case-name abbreviations, each flagged with the specific rule it violates. With existence verification enabled, every case is matched against CourtListener's database of millions of real opinions, so a non-existent or AI-hallucinated citation is caught before you file — plus a downloadable Westlaw verification checklist for manual sign-off. It tells you honestly which checks ran: a format-correct citation is not the same as a real one.

Can the AI finalize anything on its own?▼

No. The finalization gate is hard-coded: every finding must be approved, rejected, or revised by you before the work product can finalize. There is deliberately no "approve all" button.

What goes on the audit trail?▼

Every adjudication — the decision, the source text, the proposed text, your final text, your note, the playbook rule, and a timestamp — written to an append-only event log. Print the decision packet for the file, or export the consolidated trail.

Can it assemble a probate filing packet?▼

Yes — the Probate Packet Desk is deterministic end to end for Florida probate: enter the matter facts and the router selects the administration path (formal, summary, disposition without administration, or ancillary) while showing the alternatives it rejected and why. Structural risks surface with statute citations and remedies, the creditor-claim clock runs §§ 733.702/733.710, fee presumptions compute under §§ 733.617/733.6171, and the filing set assembles in order from deterministic templates with a per-filing attorney review checklist, print packet, and .docx export. The AI authors none of the operative text, every filing is a draft for the supervising attorney, and the platform does not file.

Is this legal advice? Does it create privilege?▼

No. DraftCounsel is a drafting tool operated by LegalDraft Technologies LLC, not a law firm. Output is AI-generated draft work product for your professional review; you remain solely responsible for the final work product. Communications with the platform are not attorney-client privileged.

How is client material handled?▼

Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, processed server-side for the selected workflow, and protected by authenticated account, tenant, matter, and entitlement checks on every DraftCounsel read or export.

Bring the matter. Keep control.
