kaedax

Legaltech · 720-hour cycle

Legaltech software,
privilege-aware throughout.

kaedax builds legaltech software — matter management, document automation, AI-assisted review, client intake — in a fixed 30-day (720-hour) cycle. Privilege-aware access controls, defensible audit trails, and evaluation harnesses on any AI output are designed into the spec, because in legal software, 'mostly correct' is a malpractice exposure.

[ §01 ] the problems we're hired for

Where legaltech builds
actually go wrong.

01

AI in legal needs a defensibility story, not a demo

An AI that summarizes contracts impressively but unverifiably is unusable in practice. Every AI surface we ship for legal work carries an eval harness — graded against attorney-reviewed answers — plus citations back to source text for every claim.

02

Privilege boundaries are an architecture decision

Matter-level access, ethical walls, conflict checks — retrofitting these into a flat data model means rebuilding. We design privilege boundaries into the schema on day one, enforced at the database layer, not just the UI.

03

Lawyers bill hours; your software can't waste them

Legal users have the lowest tolerance for friction of any professional vertical: every extra click is billable time lost. We design around the matter workflow as practiced, instrumented from day one to find where minutes leak.

04

Document workflows are version-control problems in disguise

Redlines, approvals, signature chains, precedent libraries — legal documents need diffing, history, and audit the way code does. We bring software-grade version discipline to document automation.

[ §02 ] what ships

One cycle.
Production, not prototype.

The shapes of legaltech work that fit a 720-hour cycle. Every build ships with runbooks, monitoring, and 30–60 days of post-launch on-call.

Privilege-aware access Ethical walls in schema Defensible audit trails Eval-gated AI Source citations
[01]

Matter management

Matters, parties, deadlines, conflicts — with privilege boundaries enforced in the schema.

[02]

Document automation

Template engines, redline workflows, approval chains, signature integration with full history.

[03]

AI-assisted review

Extraction, summarization, and first-pass review — eval-gated against attorney-reviewed answers, every claim cited to source.

[04]

Client intake & portals

Conflict-checked intake, secure document exchange, status surfaces that cut 'any update?' emails.

[ §03 ] proof

Our legaltech posture is built on adjacent regulated work — see all case studies across fintech, healthtech, insurance, and AI products. The engineering disciplines transfer; the scope call establishes the specifics.

[ §04 ] questions

Legaltech founders
ask us first.

01

Can AI legal tools actually be trusted?

+

Only with a defensibility layer: evaluation harnesses graded against attorney-reviewed answers, citations from every AI claim back to source text, and confidence thresholds that route low-certainty work to humans. That layer is the difference between a legal AI product and a liability — and it's the first thing we build.

02

How do you handle privilege and confidentiality?

+

Privilege boundaries are enforced at the database layer — matter-level access, ethical walls, conflict-aware permissions — not just hidden in the UI. Mutual NDA precedes any scope conversation, and all data lives in your cloud.

03

How much does legaltech software development cost?

+

Market quotes for legaltech MVPs run $50,000–$200,000 over 3–6 months. kaedax prices per fixed 720-hour cycle, shared on the scope call — fixed scope, fixed timeline, no overrun billing.

04

Can you build document automation with redlining?

+

Yes — template engines, redline workflows, approval chains, and signature integrations with software-grade version history. Legal documents are version-control problems, and we treat them with that discipline.

05

Do you work with law firms or legaltech startups?

+

Both: legaltech founders building products, and firms or legal-ops teams building internal tooling. The privilege-aware architecture is the same; the scope call establishes which workflows fit a single cycle.

Fits a cycle,
or we say so.

A 15-minute scope call with a kaedax founder and the engineer who'd lead your build. We either fit your legaltech product into 720 hours, or we tell you why not — same call.
