Won't this embarrass me in court? The question every lawyer asks
ORCA was built by a lawyer who asked himself the same question - and built a software tool that answers it systematically.
ORCA doesn't just write. It checks its own work and shows you the grades.
Every lawyer knows how to work with a junior associate. They submit a draft. If they're good, they include a cover note: "I'm confident in sections 1-4. Check the damage calculation in section 5."
ORCA works the same way. Every document it produces ships with a professional report. The report identifies which parts passed automated checks and which require your judgment. Not "check everything" - "check this."
This isn't automation that replaces the lawyer. It's automation that narrows the scope of review - and lets the lawyer focus where their professional judgment is actually needed.
Other AI tools generate drafts. ORCA generates drafts that have already been checked - and show exactly what still needs your eye.
ORCA does not invent facts.
ORCA does not invent facts. Every fact - date, amount, name - comes only from what you entered. If you didn't enter it - it won't be there. No "filling in gaps" with guesses, no narrative built from "what sounds reasonable."
ORCA is not programmed to cite case law in the body of the claim. Authorities are used by the system to build legal logic - they don't appear in the draft. And those authorities rest on a verified source registry, not the model's memory - so the logic is built on real, checkable sources. Israeli courts know the case law. A wrong citation is a fatal blow - and the lawyer reviewing the draft is the one who verifies there are none.
Every document goes through these validation tests:
- Presence of every legal element for each cause
- Internal consistency between facts and causes
- Completeness of relief specification
- Evidence mapping for every claim
- Absence of contradictions between document parts
If a check fails - the document is flagged. The lawyer sees what failed and why, before deciding whether to proceed.
Client data protected and encrypted
Today: case data is encrypted and stored in Israel; AI processing is performed via OpenAI/Anthropic under their standard API terms, not used for model training. Auto-deleted within 30 days. Full technical detail below on this page.
ORCA is architected so it can run in private deployment. An enterprise edition with full on-premise deployment - no external servers, no third-party access - is planned, and not yet available.
We check the document, not the code
In ordinary software, a fix is successful if the code changed, it compiles, and tests pass. For a system that produces legal documents, that is not enough. The only question that matters is whether the document itself, on a full end-to-end run, looks as expected.
ORCA is built around one principle: the check should happen on the document itself, not only on the code. Every output is run end-to-end on your actual case, and failures a check can detect are flagged - with what failed and why - before it reaches you. The signing authority is the attorney, so the last layer is always your own read, not a 'ready' stamp from the machine.
ORCA knows when to say "not yet"
A system that always says "ready" is worthless. When the checks surface a substantive problem, ORCA withholds approval to file - and explains what blocks it and why. Refusing to certify is part of the discipline, not a failure of it.
Before a draft reaches you, ORCA reads it through an adversary's eyes - a critical pass that hunts for the weaknesses an opponent would exploit, and surfaces them for you in advance.
We don't promise "ready to file." Even a document that passed every check requires lawyer review. ORCA produces the ground for review - not a substitute for it.
We don't cite case law in the body of the document. We don't invent facts. We don't hide failures - every automated check that fails is reported explicitly in the professional report.
A system handling privileged legal materials must meet a high bar. Here's how we do it.
Data Residency in Israel
Application data - case files, exhibits, generated documents - is stored on servers in Israel. AI processing is performed via secure cloud services from international providers (OpenAI, Anthropic). All traffic is encrypted in transit.
Encryption in Transit
All traffic between your browser and our system is encrypted with TLS 1.3. Application data is stored as files on the server's disk in Israel, and ORCA does not add an application-level encryption layer of its own on top of that.
Automatic Deletion
Uploaded files and generated documents are deleted automatically on a defined retention schedule. Documents are removed within 30 days. No request needed.
Your Data Is Never Used for Training
Client materials are never used for model training. Your data belongs to your client. Period.
Access Control
JWT authentication with token refresh. Firm-level isolation - each firm sees only its own documents. Rate limiting on every endpoint.
Upload Security
Every uploaded file undergoes magic-byte verification - checking that file content matches the declared type. Failed files are deleted immediately.
Input Sanitization
XSS protection on all input fields. Security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options). Payload size limited to 1MB.
Case Isolation
Every case is processed in complete isolation. No data sharing between cases, between clients, or between firms. Results are fully isolated.
Continuous Improvement
Security is built into our development process: code review before changes ship, and fail-closed production checks that stop the server from starting if a required security setting is missing. If your organization has specific compliance requirements, let's talk.
