Worked examples
How a matter actually runs
Three walkthroughs showing what the service does at each stage, and where a human still has to decide.
These are illustrative, not customer stories. They describe how the product works on realistic matters. We will not publish named customers or outcomes without their consent, and we will not invent them in the meantime.
Individual
Unjustified dismissal, no lawyer
The situation
Dismissed after a two-week process. Holds a letter of dismissal, an email chain with the manager, and an employment agreement. Does not know what to file or by when.
What happens
- Uploads three documents; OCR reads the scanned agreement.
- Guided interview establishes the dismissal date and what process was followed.
- Deadline engine works back from the dismissal date and shows the 28-day personal grievance window with the date it counted from.
- Retrieval pulls the relevant Employment Relations Act sections on justification and process, then judgments showing how they have been applied.
- A statement of claim is assembled, each paragraph linked to its source, and the citation validator confirms every authority exists.
Where it ends
A cited draft ready to review and file, with the limitation date visible rather than assumed.
Firm
Intake triage at a small practice
The situation
A practice receives more employment enquiries than it can assess. Each one takes a fee earner an hour to work out whether it is worth taking.
What happens
- Enquirer uploads documents into the firm tenant before any lawyer time is spent.
- Structured facts and computed limitation dates land in the case file automatically.
- The fee earner opens a case that is already organised, with dates calculated and sources gathered.
- Role-based access means a paralegal can prepare the file without seeing unrelated matters.
- Every action is written to the audit log, per case and per actor.
Where it ends
Assessment starts from a structured file rather than a folder of attachments.
Community
Volunteer clinic under time pressure
The situation
A clinic sees people in short appointments. Volunteers rotate, so knowledge does not carry between sessions and limitation periods get missed.
What happens
- Case created during the appointment, documents uploaded on the spot.
- Deadlines computed on NZ working days and public holidays, visible to whoever picks the case up next.
- Draft prepared for a supervising lawyer to settle rather than written from scratch.
- Case file and audit trail persist across volunteers.
Where it ends
More people helped per volunteer hour, without lowering the standard of what gets filed.
