AI for solicitors: build a chronology you can verify.

Practise on a fictional file: the documents, the instructions, the resulting chronology with a reference to each document, and the checklist, including a real error so you learn to spot it.

Every row: document, page, paragraph

Unsupported line stopped: NO SOURCE

See the method work

Watch a file become a chronology where every row has a source.

The worked example from the free sample, step by step: fix the permitted file, give an instruction with limits, tie each row to its document and stop any line without support.

Silent animated illustration of the free sample’s worked example. Fictional file; no real product, client or matter is shown. The chronology prepares material for a lawyer’s review; it is not legal advice.

Read the demo as text
  1. Use only the permitted file. Only three fictional documents may be used: the order (D1, 2 September 2026) and two emails (D2, 4 September 2026; D3, 15 September 2026). Nothing else enters the instruction.
  2. Instruction with limits. The instruction asks for a chronology from D1–D3 only, with event date, document date, statement, source location and status. It keeps requests apart from confirmations, allows NO SOURCE and adds no law, authorities, findings or deadlines.
  3. Every row tied to its source. Four supported rows, each tied to a document, page and paragraph. Orion’s report of the delivery is attributed as its account, not independently verified.
  4. Unsupported lines are stopped. “Vale breached a binding delivery deadline.” has no source: D1 makes the date subject to written confirmation and D2 defers it. The line is logged as rejected and excluded from the chronology.
  5. A qualified person reviews. The review card: every row has a real document, page and paragraph, the two dates stay apart, reports are attributed, unsupported lines are excluded, and a qualified person reviews the chronology before anyone relies on it.

A supervised method

Every fact tied to its document. Every step reviewed by you.

01

Permitted inputs

You decide which documents can be used and how to anonymise them before you start.

02

Output linked to sources

Chronologies, summaries and comparisons where every line points to the source document and page.

03

Check and stop

If a fact has no source, the workflow stops and flags it for review. The final decision is always yours.

The concerns you're right to have

A conclusion without a source isn't a shortcut. It's a risk.

Authorities that don't exist

AI assistants can cite cases, sections or deadlines that don't exist. If nobody checks every reference, the error ends up in your document.

Data that shouldn't leave the firm

Pasting a file into any tool, without knowing where the data goes, sits badly with your duty of confidentiality.

Checking everything twice

If the output doesn't show where each fact comes from, you end up rereading the whole file. The supposed shortcut becomes double work.

Inside the worked example

One fictional file, checked step by step.

  1. A fictional file with numbered documents.
  2. Instructions that require a document and page reference for every fact.
  3. The resulting chronology, with one line flagged 'no source'.
  4. The checklist to run before using any output.
  5. A typical AI error and how we caught it.

Who it's for

For small firms that stand behind every document they send.

Made for

  • Sole practitioners.
  • Partners in small firms who want one shared method.
  • Associates who prepare files and first drafts.
  • Paralegals and legal operations staff.

It's not for you if you want

  • Legal advice: this is training for legal professionals.
  • A system that files documents or calculates deadlines for you.
  • A tool that replaces your professional judgement.

What you can put to work

A worked example you can learn from.

A fictional matter and a chronology that keeps each fact linked to its source.

  • Clear instructions for repeating the exercise.
  • Fictional source material to practise without client data.
  • A worked solution and checks for your own result.

What you need to start

To practise, all you need is an AI assistant and the fictional file we provide. You don't upload any real documents.

  • A text-based AI assistant; with real data, only the one your firm has approved.
  • The fictional file we include: never practise on real matters.
  • Some time to do the exercise and check every reference.
