WE MAKE JUSTICE VISIBLE

By structuring trial transcripts - the spoken record behind every ruling and reason.

OUR MISSION

Every day, across thousands of courtrooms, judges think aloud, lawyers argue, and witnesses reveal truth under pressure.

These words decide people's futures - yet they vanish into paper, scattered across thousands of court reporters.

Unlike appellate opinions, trial transcripts capture the living texture of justice: the hesitation before a ruling, the reasoning behind an objection, the credibility of a witness.

It's the most complete, least digitized dataset in law - a human dataset that has never been structured or studied at scale.

The entire legal intelligence industry — from LexisNexis to Westlaw — is built on what's written after the fact.

But the truth of how justice happens lives in what's spoken in real time.

That's why we're building Verbatim - the first structured dataset of courtroom reasoning.

By licensing, digitizing, and structuring trial transcripts, we turn raw dialogue into data:

  • For lawyers: institutional memory that scales beyond a firm's walls.
  • For AI labs: a ground-truth corpus for models learning fairness and reasoning.
  • For society: a transparent, auditable record of how justice is reasoned.

Justice shouldn't disappear into silence.

We're preserving it - line by line, objection by objection, word by word.
