Methodology

A constrained AI workflow for legal-grade triage.


The system separates retrieval, reasoning, contradiction, and human review so the output is easier to audit than a one-shot AI answer.

PatentOS

Council

bounded persona review pattern

RAG

source-grounded evidence trail

Audit

reviewable decision records

Pipeline

Each step has one job.

Separating the workflow makes weak evidence easier to reject and strong evidence easier to explain.

Claim decomposition

Break claims into testable elements and jurisdiction-aware constraints.

Evidence retrieval

Pull product pages, technical materials, filings, screenshots, and citations.

Counter-review

Challenge the fit before routing anything to the final report.

Controls

Confidence is routed, not hidden.

The product should make uncertainty visible, because uncertainty is what tells counsel where to spend time.

Source requirement

Assertions need a citation trail before they can leave the pipeline.

Disagreement handling

Conflicting council assessments are retained in the dissent log instead of being averaged away.

Human checkpoint

High-stakes findings move through attorney review before business action.

Methodology should show up in the output.

The sample report is the fastest way to evaluate whether the workflow is legible.
