Product UI

Shipped surfaces (live captures)

Advanced · research seat

Discover is useful — not under Title WorkBench

Two different things share similar words. Confusing them mis-sells both.

Public · Title WorkBench interview

legalpresence.com/research

Partner discovery interview for product priorities (Clock / Gate / Word / pain). Answers email research. No case data. No AI research run.

Open interview →

Studio · Discover

/studio/discover (after access)

Precedent research dashboard: rank on-point cases, profile serial litigants, optional workspace spin-up for a docket. Fail-loud: web hits are UNVERIFIED until counsel citates. Not the front door — Advanced behind Command.

Verdict: Discover is useful and shipped. Keep it in the product map as an advanced research engine (feeds Draft + strategy). Do not put it under the marketing Title WorkBench page — that page is the partner interview (what you need from a workbench), not legal research AI. In-product Discover is separate: ranked cases, party patterns, verify-before-file.

UX redesign

Matter command home (target IA)

Information architecture change — not a cosmetic rebrand. Partner spine first; Advanced last.

Build waves

How we close the gaps

Wave 0–1 · Trust · shipped

Home spine + pre-file

  • Next 3 · Theory/Gaps on home · Advanced
  • Matter Gate · DOCX export/import
  • Approval ledger · hard-block seal
Wave 2–4 · Seat · shipped

File + Word + package

  • Matter search · fact pins · evidence rail
  • Good-law stamp · Package recipe · path-ICS
  • Native Office.js task pane (Word bridge stands in)

Non-goals: Filevine billing/SMS clone · Westlaw corpus · auto-approve AI · more peer accordions.

Position

Complement, don’t clone

vs CoCounsel / Harvey

They accelerate drafts and research. We control what can become a filing and keep the clock honest.

vs Clearbrief

They finish the brief in Word. We own matter gates and package — export clean DOCX into Word.

vs Filevine

They run case volume ops. We run litigation readiness: path, theories, cites, seal.

Next step

Pilot one matter or shape the roadmap

Partners: request access. Product leaders: complete the Title WorkBench interview — answers go to research.
