LegalDraft · Coverage & verification
What runs deterministically, what the AI drafts, and what is verified
Every cell on this page is computed from the same configuration the product runs on — a label here cannot say more than the software does. Assists professional review; the supervising attorney remains responsible for every output.

See the full published scorecard →Live engine status →The labels, and what they are allowed to mean
Operative text assembled from the parameterized, attorney-reviewable clause library — the model never authors the binding language.
AI-drafted and grounded in state legal context with citations; the supervising attorney verifies statutory references against official sources.
AI-generated findings and risk analysis for professional judgment — it flags, it does not decide law.
Deterministic Bluebook form check. Existence NOT verified — a perfectly formatted citation can still be fabricated.
Each case citation checked against real opinions (CourtListener). Not a good-law/treatment check.
Negative-treatment result from a licensed citator (Westlaw KeyCite / Lexis Shepard’s).
No automated verification layer ran for this claim — the supervising attorney verifies before relying.
Deterministically assembled instruments
These documents assemble from the parameterized, attorney-reviewable clause library — the model never authors their operative text. State clause packs overlay source-cited provisions where a pack exists (FL, AL, AK); the base instrument drafts for every U.S. state with its execution formalities. The “verified state-exact” claim stays fail-closed in code until a licensed attorney signs off per state — no exceptions, including Florida.
| Instrument | Rigor | State packs | State-exact claim |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Will & Testament | Deterministic | FL, AL, AK · base instrument: all states | Pending licensed-attorney sign-off (fail-closed) |
| Revocable Living Trust | Deterministic | FL, AL, AK · base instrument: all states | Pending licensed-attorney sign-off (fail-closed) |
| Financial Power of Attorney (Durable) | Deterministic | FL, AL, AK · base instrument: all states | Pending licensed-attorney sign-off (fail-closed) |
| Advance Healthcare Directive & Living Will | Deterministic | FL, AL, AK · base instrument: all states | Pending licensed-attorney sign-off (fail-closed) |
| Declaration Naming Preneed Guardian | Deterministic | FL, AL, AK · base instrument: all states | Pending licensed-attorney sign-off (fail-closed) |
Florida probate filings — 12 deterministic templates
DeterministicPetition for administration, oath of personal representative, creditor notices, inventory, summary administration, disposition without administration, ancillary petitions, accounting, and discharge — each a parameterized template with statute/Probate Rule hooks. They assemble in the probate packet flow (the engine selects the set per administration path), not the generic drafting picker, and every output is a draft for licensed-attorney review and filing.
Authority Graph: 26/27 cited Florida statutes verified against the official publisher (last check 2026-07-10) — content-hashed, re-checked on demand, history in source control. Per-clause provenance with official links is on the Florida desk page.
Fact-layer authorities by document type — 34/259 verified registry-wide
healthcare-directive: 50 statutes registered, 1 hash-verified
promissory-note: 50 statutes registered
loan-agreement: 50 statutes registered
poa-financial: 49 statutes registered, 2 hash-verified
residential-lease: 48 statutes registered, 3 hash-verified
last-will: 34 statutes registered, 3 hash-verified
living-trust: 3 statutes registered
Registered means the citation is under the drift monitor's registry; verified means a hashed baseline from the official publisher exists. Sources without a verified publisher resolver are counted and say so — they are never claimed current.
Statute-cited AI drafts
Drafted by the engine with state legal context and citations, then routed through the built-in review — with statutory references the reviewing attorney verifies against official sources.

Citation verification — the ladder, level by level
A citation is never labeled above the highest level that actually ran on it. Format-correct ≠ real; existence-verified ≠ good law. The ladder says exactly which rung is live today.
L1Bluebook format check (deterministic)
Reporter spacing, T6 abbreviations, short-form integrity, pincite rules.
L2Case existence (CourtListener, real opinions)
Built and wired; activates when the CourtListener token is set — until then the report says “existence not verified.”
L3Court / date / precedential-status cross-check
Matched-opinion metadata (court, date, published/unpublished) surfaced from the existence layer; plumbing built and tested, activates with the citator token.
L4Pinpoint & quote verification
Quoted language string-checked against the retrieved opinion text — catches misquotes, not just fake cases. The matcher is live and tested; the opinion-text fetch activates when the CourtListener token is set.
L5Statute & regulation currentness
Authority Graph: 34/259 registered official sources verified against dated, hashed snapshots (last verified 2026-07-10); the daily runtime monitor records every re-check to the ledger and flags drift for review — changes are never silently re-blessed.
L6Negative treatment (licensed citator)
Westlaw KeyCite / Lexis Shepard’s provider slots are built and dormant; nothing is ever labeled “good law” without a real citator result.
L7Brief-level authority table + manual checklist
Table-of-authorities export with a per-citation verification checklist.
State capability classes
Every US jurisdiction carries a deployment class that sets what the consumer software may do there — data with citations, not guesswork. This table is compiled from the same policy table the permission engine enforces at runtime.
| Jurisdiction | Class | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| FL | D | No software safe harbor. Fla. Bar R. 10-2.2 / Brumbaugh line define nonlawyer limits; §454.23 makes UPL criminal. Rule 10-9.1 advisory-opinion channel available. |
| AZ | D (declared B — registration pending) | ACJA §7-208 (certified Legal Document Preparer program); ACJA §7-209 (Alternative Business Structure) for the licensed-services entity. |
| CA | D (declared B — registration pending) | Bus. & Prof. Code §6400 et seq.: Legal Document Assistant registration (county-level, bonded); LDA work is ministerial, at the client’s specific direction. |
| NV | D (declared B — registration pending) | NRS 240A: document preparation services registration. |
| NY | D | Judiciary Law §§478/484; Upsolve v. James (2d Cir. 2025: PI vacated, content-neutral/intermediate scrutiny; cert No. 25-948 pending). |
| NC | D | N.C. Gen. Stat. §84-2.2: registered interactive self-help document lane with statutory consumer-protection conditions. |
| TX | A | Tex. Gov't Code §81.101(c): practice of law excludes software and similar products that clearly and conspicuously state they are not a substitute for attorney advice (post-Parsons Tech. amendment). Ch. 83 (real-property instruments) still applies. |
| WA | D | Entity Regulation Pilot (Order 25700-B-721, portal open 2025-10-21) — application drafted (docs/upl/WA-ENTITY-PILOT-APPLICATION-DRAFT.md), not authorization. |
| All other jurisdictions (43) | D (default) | No software-specific UPL authority identified; Gray-Area-Plus default — consumer-operated, user-authored, non-representational, with the attorney rail available. Each row is a dated position under counsel review, not a determination of law. |
A: express software safe harbor · B: registration lane (behaves as D until our registration lands) · C: publisher-precedent, counsel-signed (currently none) · D: gray-area consumer mode · E: restricted — analysis routes to a licensed attorney (currently none; also the incident rollback class).
The hard gates
What the software refuses to let happen — and, honestly, which gates are enforced today versus committed on the roadmap.
Jurisdiction gate
ActiveBlocks: Drafting without a valid governing state.
Coverage gate
ActiveBlocks: Deterministic-assembly claims outside clause-library coverage.
State-exact claim gate
ActiveBlocks: Asserting “verified state-exact” before a licensed-attorney sign-off exists.
Attorney attestation gate
ActiveBlocks: Attorney engines running without the licensed-attorney clickwrap.
Access gate
ActiveBlocks: Paid work product reaching unpaid/over-limit sessions.
Attorney finalization gate
ActiveBlocks: Finalizing while any finding lacks an approve/reject/revise decision. No bulk approval exists.
Citation label gate
ActiveBlocks: A citation rendering a higher verification label than the layer that actually ran.
Execution formalities gate
ActiveBlocks: Exports shipping without the state execution-formalities appendix.
UPL gate
ActiveBlocks: Consumer surfaces giving advice, outcome prediction, or strategy.
Required-facts gate
ActiveBlocks: Assembly/workflow advancing past intake with mandatory facts missing.
Conflict gate
ActiveBlocks: Contradictory intake facts (same person in must-differ roles, unparseable dates) reaching an instrument silently.
Currentness gate
ActiveBlocks: Asserted-current authority claims when a source snapshot is stale or changed.
Court-form gate
ActiveBlocks: Court packets referencing an unregistered or unverified official form.
UPL capability gate
ActiveBlocks: Any output class outside the brand × state-class permission matrix — fail closed on unknowns.
