Privilege & security
The questions your risk partner will ask, answered first.
Privileged by default, held in South Africa, encrypted with keys your firm holds, and used to train nothing.
Privilege
Privileged by default, and not negotiable from inside a matter
Everything is privileged until you say otherwise
Audio, transcripts, your notes and every inference drawn from them. Set by the firm, and counsel cannot loosen it from within a matter.
Nothing trains anything
Nothing from a firm is used to train or improve any model. This cannot be switched on.
The vendor cannot read your matters
The firm holds the keys. The vendor cannot decrypt this firm’s matters, and could not produce them under compulsion.
Where it sits
South Africa, including the models
A firm sets its own residency and retention, who may open a matter, and where the ethical walls run.
Where a capability cannot run in region, it is turned off rather than moving your matters. The low-latency voice model that moot mode needs has no in-region host yet, so on a firm set to South Africa moot sessions do not run until a partner accepts the transfer in writing.
Audio from hearings and meetings — on the device, then Johannesburg · encrypted, ninety days
Transcripts and the matter record — Johannesburg · encrypted, life of matter
Transcription model — Johannesburg, in region · nothing retained
Legal reasoning model — Johannesburg, in region · nothing retained
The rules that do not bend
Three refusals that make a demo less impressive
Only what exists
A citation it cannot open, it does not give you, and no paraphrase is ever presented as a quotation.
No silent degradation
If a model or a signal is missing, the screen says so where you would have looked. It never answers from a smaller model, or quietly does less and lets you think it did more.
Nothing written without you
What was proposed, what you did with it and when is in the audit trail, which is a professional protection before it is a feature.
Access and walls
A matter is shut to the firm unless you are on it
Being a partner is not access
A matter is shut to the firm unless you are on it. Being a partner is not access.
Ethical walls actually hide it
A walled matter does not appear in your search, in Ask, or anywhere else you look.
But not from the conflict register
If a name you enter hits a walled matter, you are told there is a conflict and nothing more. The conflicts partner sees the rest, which is the only way a wall and a conflict check can both work.
In court
Nothing here grants you leave to record
It does not grant you leave to record. Asking the presiding officer remains counsel’s job.
What the product holds is your firm’s own note of the position per court, and it refuses to start capture in a court marked leave required until you confirm you have it, with that confirmation logged under your name. A court not on the list is treated as leave required, and that cannot be set the other way.

Better answered before the demo than after. If something here does not meet your firm’s standard, say so — the answer comes back as a plain yes or no, in writing.
