For general counsel and matter teams

Every cite resolves. Every contradiction surfaces.

eDiscovery returns fifty thousand documents; relevance is opinion until someone proves it. LLM-generated citations are sometimes invented. Privileged material slips into productions. Matter knowledge dies when the associate leaves. Arkivist gives each matter a knowledge graph with citation validation, contradiction surfacing across exhibits, and privilege containment by tenant boundary — not by policy.

The problem

What breaks legal work today.

  • eDiscovery spits out fifty thousand documents. Relevance is opinion until it is proven. The proof lives in someone's notebook, not the system.
  • LLM-generated citations are sometimes invented. A brief built on a hallucinated case is malpractice — discovered late, defended badly.
  • Privileged material leaks into productions. Tenant boundaries are paper. Privilege is policy, not architecture.
  • Matter knowledge dies when the associate leaves. The successor inherits documents, not understanding.
  • Contradictions between exhibits sit buried until trial — and then they become opposing counsel's opening statement.
What Arkivist brings

Substrate. Reasoning. Federation. Applied to your work.

Reasoning

Citation-validated brief generation

Every cite a draft produces is resolved against a real source. Invented citations are refused, not hidden. The associate sees what the model could verify — and what it could not.

Substrate

Matter-scoped knowledge graph

Each matter gets its own substrate — entities, claims, relationships, and the full provenance chain. The knowledge persists past staffing changes; the successor inherits a graph, not a folder.

Reasoning

Contradiction detection across exhibits

Symbolic reasoning surfaces conflicts between deposition transcripts, document productions, and prior statements — flagged for the matter lead before trial, not by opposing counsel during it.

Federation

Privilege by tenant boundary

Privileged material is contained by architecture. Row-level security and tenant isolation prevent privileged claims from being seen, queried, or aggregated outside the matter. Not a policy. A boundary.

Substrate

Temporal reconstruction for matter timelines

Every claim has a valid-from. Reconstruct what was known on a specific date — what the client knew, what counsel knew, when. Audit-grade timelines without spreadsheet reconstruction.

Federation

Structured co-counsel sharing

Share verified facts with co-counsel or outside counsel as L5-anchored claims with provenance — not raw productions. Each party verifies the anchor independently. Sovereignty preserved across the matter team.

The proof

From a draft brief to a verifiable filing.

  1. L1Raw
  2. L2Corroborated
  3. L3Verified
  4. L4Expert
  5. L5Anchored

Claims rise from raw extraction through corroboration and agent verification to L5 — anchored to the Hedera Consensus Service. The chain from exhibit to citation is structural; an opposing party or court can verify the chain against a ledger Arkivist does not control.

Federation

Co-counsel share facts. Privileged material stays home.

Verified facts, not raw data

Outside counsel, co-counsel, and clients today exchange productions, indices, and emails. Arkivist replaces that with structured sharing of verified facts — L5-anchored claims with provenance, verifiable independently by the receiving party. Raw documents, work product, and privileged material never leave the originating tenant. Collaboration without privilege exposure.
