AI-Native Platform Architecture

Built for the Scale andSecurity of Federal Courts

A comprehensive, AI-native architecture with automated workflows, configurable rule domains, and a layered overlay hierarchy — governed by configuration, not code forks.

Layered Architecture

Six layers from AI operations to data plane, with a configuration service resolving court-specific behavior at every tier.

Platform Capabilities

Twelve core domains — each driven by governed configuration, not hard-coded logic.

Case & Party Management

Full case lifecycle with cross-court contexts, party relationships, representation tracking, and optimistic concurrency for safe multi-user editing.

Docket & Calendar

Official docket with sequence integrity, deadline management driven by court-specific configuration, and hearing scheduling across multiple hearing types.

Filing & Intake

Server-driven forms from configuration snapshots, package-validated submission, and straight-through processing with idempotent filing.

Document Governance

SHA-256 hash verification, multiple confidentiality classes from PUBLIC to GRAND_JURY_6E, sealing workflow, legal hold, and retention policy enforcement.

Fee & Payment

Configuration-driven fee assessment for all case types, payment orchestration, waiver handling, and court-specific fee rules.

Notice & Service

Template-driven notices from configuration with multiple delivery channels including electronic, personal service, certified mail, email, and print — with service proof tracking.

Search & Reporting

Full-text search with security-projected read models and multiple report types covering filing throughput, processing latency, queue health, and governance metrics.

Audit & Compliance

Append-only hash-chained ledger covering all action types, with configuration provenance on every event and verified PII protections.

Workflow Orchestration

Durable workflow engine spanning civil, criminal, bankruptcy, appellate, and specialty case types. Deterministic execution pinned to immutable configuration snapshots.

AI Operations (MCP)

AI-assisted operations with governed automation, human-in-the-loop approval gates, and prompt templates for court policy review, rollout readiness, and incident triage.

Tenant Isolation

Row-level isolation, per-tenant object storage, per-tenant search filtering, and a comprehensive regression suite enforcing cross-tenant denial including sealed/restricted document access.

Brownfield Coexistence

Multiple adapter types for identity sync, legacy record linking, document export, payment, notification, print batch, search index, analytics, and external filing integration.

Technology Stack

Production-grade, open-standards technologies chosen for federal court requirements.

Security by Architecture

Security is structural, not bolted on. Every layer enforces tenant isolation, access control, and audit.

60+ endpoints

Zero Trust Architecture

Every request authenticated and authorized across 60+ endpoints. No implicit trust at any layer.

21 tests

21 Regression Tests

Automated cross-tenant denial, sealed document access, PII scrubbing verification run on every build.

PUBLIC → GRAND_JURY_6E

8 Confidentiality Classes

PUBLIC through GRAND_JURY_6E with role-based access enforcement from storage to search to API.

36 action types

Hash-Chained Audit

36 action types in an append-only ledger with package provenance on every event.

SSN, email, phone

PII Protection

SSN patterns, email addresses scrubbed from logs, metrics, and Temporal search attributes.

Human-in-the-loop

MCP Approval Gates

AI-assisted operations require human approval for mutations; every invocation audit-logged.
