Authority Ledger
Statutory and case citations must resolve against official sources before a draft can persist. Unresolved cites are blocked — they are not silently published.
Built for counsel who want the record in view before they file. Suta reads the files you choose, checks citations against official sources, and drafts under your command. Nothing writes back until you approve.
Novus is the desk. Suta is the associate who never files without you.
Statutory and case citations must resolve against official sources before a draft can persist. Unresolved cites are blocked — they are not silently published.
Suta inspects stamped filings, scans, pictures in PDFs, and hearing audio on this matter — not a generic chat that only sees pasted text.
Encryption happens in the browser. The master key does not leave the device. Unlock for preview or for Suta is explicit — not a silent server export.
Windows File Explorer stays the working surface. Matter folders sync continuously. You do not re-upload from a browser tab for ordinary work.
Inbound mail is matched to a matter and proposed as file, deadline, and task. You approve on the card. Sentinel does not silently file.
Firm subscription is not client pass-through. Matter tokens and layout pages can be logged as an expense when counsel chooses — never as a silent time entry.
Litigation needs a record, privilege, and a human who still signs.
