Under the hood

What makes this work where others have failed.

Vision-grade deed parsing

Frontier vision models read scanned/handwritten deeds at 99%+. We catch what OCR-only systems miss: marginal handwriting, rotated pages, faded ink.

Identity graph

"John Smith" appears 23 times across 145 years. Our graph resolves identity using marriage, probate, address, and adjoining-tract co-mentions.

State-aware legal reasoning

TX (Mother Hubbard, Duhig), LA (forced heirship), OK (statutory pooling), ND (forced pooling) — each requires different chain-walking rules.

Continuous RRC sync

Live HBP requires near-real-time production data. We sync RRC, OCC, NDIC daily and surface confidence scores when reports are stale.

Attorney-of-record network

AI alone can't sign. Our exclusive AOR network reviews and signs in 6-hour windows. They become our distribution moat.

Audit-grade reasoning chain

Every conclusion cites specific deeds with confidence scores. Defensible in court.
