Why legal teams pick LexCore

Anchored, then challenged

Every LexCore finding must be anchored to exact text in the document under review, or it is dropped. Independent agents then challenge what is left before a lawyer sees it.

A record of the lawyer's supervision

The Lawyer Analysis Metric (LAM) records how much human supervision each task received, so a review can be defended later. It documents supervision; it does not promise the review is correct.

Documents that never leave your environment

Banks and regulated companies can run the Sovereign tier on their own infrastructure, with open-weight models. No outside AI provider sees the text.
