Deep Synthesis

Legal research you can actually check

Most AI tools hand you a fluent answer and ask you to trust it. For legal work, trust is the wrong default — a confident citation to a case that doesn't exist is worse than no answer at all. Deep Synthesis is built the other way around. It doesn't answer from memory; it researches, reasons, and verifies, then hands you a report whose sources you can open and confirm. The difference shows up where it matters: in the citations.

What you get

A cited report, not a guess

Every run produces a structured legal-research report in IRAC form — Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion — with genuine case-law depth and a References section. It is grounded in two source channels kept distinct in the report: an authoritative legal database of Philippine statutes and case law, and the live web for recency and commentary. You always know what came from where.

You stay in control

Before any heavy research runs, Deep Synthesis breaks your question into discrete sub-questions and shows them to you. Select the ones worth pursuing, add context, or refine the breakdown. The research follows your direction — it isn't a black box you fire and hope.

It shows its work

A live timeline narrates each stage as it happens — "Searching legal databases," "Analyzing case relevance," "Discovering cited authorities," "Searching the web," "Distilling key insights," "Generating report" — with running counts of cases found and sources read. You can watch it think, or step away and come back to a finished report.

It checks its own citations

This is the part worth slowing down for. After drafting, Deep Synthesis extracts every citation and matches it against the sources it actually retrieved. Verified citations become clickable links straight to the authority. Citations it can't match are flagged or removed — not left in silently. Then it shows a faithfulness score (green ≥90%, amber ≥70%, red <70%) and tells you how many citations, if any, couldn't be verified. It's honest self-checking, shown on the page — not a promise of perfection.

Built for Philippine law

The statute index, case-law corpus, and prioritized web sources are Philippine — and the tool expands Philippine legal shorthand (RA, BP, PD, RPC, FC, VAWC, and agencies like NLRC, DOLE, SEC, BIR) so you can write the way you think. Pose your issue in just plain natural language.

Fast, and ready to use

A typical query finishes in about 5–20 minutes (depending on how complex the question is) — where the same first-pass research, done by hand, would typically take a lawyer at least a day. When it's done, export to PDF or HTML, or copy the text — straight into the memo or brief you were already writing. If a run is interrupted, you can resume it without losing progress.

How it works, briefly

Under the six steps you see is an eight-stage pipeline: it (1) understands and plans your query, (2) searches and ranks the legal database and discovers the statutes your cases cite, (3) refines its search to avoid duplication, (4) reads authoritative web sources over several rounds, (5) distills each source to its legally relevant essence with article-level statute precision across 80+ indexed laws, (6) checks that every sub-question is actually supported by evidence, (7) writes the IRAC report, and (8) verifies its own citations.

Who it's for

• Practicing lawyers & in-house counsel — start first-pass research from actual statutes and how courts applied them, with a checkable draft and clickable sources that drop straight into a memo.
• Law students & faculty — see a research problem broken into sub-questions and pursued stage by stage, with a References section that reinforces citing real, checked authority.
• Bar-exam candidates — practice with IRAC-structured output anchored to Philippine statutes and case law, with article-level retrieval that pinpoints the exact provision behind a doctrine.

Honest about what it is

Deep Synthesis is a research assistant, not legal advice — the report says so. The faithfulness check reduces and surfaces unsupported citations and grounds the rest in retrieved sources; it does not make a report flawless, and when the score is below 100% you see that plainly. The point isn't to replace your judgment. It's to get you to a checkable first draft faster, and to make the checking quick.
