Citadel // Private Legal AI On Your Premises

Grow The Practice. Not The Hours.

Citadel is a private AI that does the first-pass legal grind — title-search reconciliation, document review, drafting, research, e-discovery — so your lawyers spend their hours on billable work instead of busywork. More capacity, more clients, more revenue, from the same team. And it runs on an appliance inside your firm, so nothing privileged ever leaves the building.

01 // The Real Constraint

Your Ceiling Is Billable Hours.

A firm's capacity comes down to one thing: the hours your lawyers can bill. And a punishing share of those hours disappears into work that never needed a lawyer's judgement — reconciling a title search, reading through a matter to find one answer, assembling a first draft, chasing down a citation, sorting a document dump.

That's exactly the work Citadel does first-pass, in seconds. Every hour it hands back is an hour your team can put on the next client — capacity you can't hire your way to as quickly, at a fraction of what another associate costs.

Every hour returned is another billable hour — and room for another client.

02 // No Migration, No Learning Curve

It Fits The Way You Already Work.

Citadel brings in the files you already have — matters, contracts, correspondence, precedent — with OCR for the scans, and connects to the systems you already run: ingest straight from Clio or your document-management system, draft with citations inside Word, and pull matter correspondence from Outlook. Nothing to migrate, no new home for your data, no course to take. One system for the whole matter — first intake and conflicts check through to invoice — so the intelligence lives where the work already happens.

One system, from intake to invoice.

03 // What It Does For You

The First Pass, Done In Seconds.

Built for Canadian practice — real estate first, family law next — these run across the matters your firm already handles.

i
Flagship · Real Estate

Title-Search Intelligence

Upload the SPIN2/ARLO title search you already pull, and Citadel reads the certificate and instruments into structured data — registrations, caveats, rights-of-way, mortgages, pending registrations — then reconciles it, by code, against the permitted encumbrances in the purchase contract. Every discrepancy is flagged and linked to both the instrument and the clause.

The conveyancing check that closes deals — and the negligence trap it prevents.

ii

Grounded Document Q&A

Ask a question across a whole matter and get the answer — with a citation to the exact page — in seconds, instead of an afternoon of reading. Retrieval is walled to the matter; it can't reach across your cases.

An afternoon of reading becomes a question and an answer.

iii

Contract & Document Analysis

Parties, key clauses, obligations, risk flags and critical dates pulled from any document in seconds — the first review pass already done before a lawyer opens the file.

Hours of first-read, handed back.

iv

Drafting — In Word

Turn your own precedents into a first draft without leaving Word. Citadel fills your template from the source document, drops in citation-grounded language, and flags anything it can't verify as [TO CONFIRM] — a starting point in your words, never a black box.

The daily surface is Word, not a dashboard.

v

Research You Can Cite

Search statutes that live on your box — Alberta and federal — and check every case-law citation against CanLII before it's shown, with a link straight to the source. Point-in-time aware, so a question about the law on a past date isn't answered with today's.

Real authority, verified — or it isn't shown.

vi

Deadlines & Deterministic Math

Limitation periods, filing deadlines and support amounts are computed by deterministic code — never estimated by the AI in prose — and dropped straight into your tickler. The model can explain the governing rule; it never does the arithmetic.

The single most expensive mistake, designed out.

vii

E-Discovery Review

Bulk-ingest a document dump, de-duplicate it, and move through privilege and relevance review with AI-suggested tags you confirm — first-pass review that used to take days.

Days of first-pass review, compressed.

viii

On-Device Transcription

Depositions, hearings and call recordings transcribed on the box itself, then indexed — so you can question the transcript like any other document instead of scrubbing audio.

The recording becomes searchable text.

Assistance, not advice — every output is yours to check, and the professional responsibility stays with the lawyer.

04 // Safe To Adopt. Safe To Rely On.

AI You're Actually Allowed To Use.

Canada's law societies apply the same duties — confidentiality, competence, supervision — to AI as to everything else; the lawyer carries them no matter the tool. Citadel is built so those duties are easy to discharge — which is exactly what makes it safe to put to work.

01 · Confidential

Data Never Leaves

Everything runs on a single-tenant appliance inside your firm. Client files never touch a cloud AI — and not even EliteMicro can see your matters; the fleet is built so it can't reach your data.

Physical data isolation
02 · Grounded

Cite Or Abstain

If the corpus doesn't support an answer, Citadel says so — it never invents a case, a quote or a citation. Every authority it cites is checked to exist, and every quotation is verified verbatim against its source.

No fabricated case law
03 · Walled

Ethical Walls & Conflicts

Screens and matter walls filter what the AI can retrieve before it answers, and conflict checks run against your matters and parties — every check on an auditable record.

Screening at every layer
04 · Verifiable

Human In The Loop

Answers arrive with the citation, the pinpoint and the source passage side-by-side, so verification is fast — the meaningful human control the courts expect.

Fast to verify
05 · Accountable

Full Audit Trail

Every query, retrieval and answer is logged, immutable and exportable — the supervision evidence your regulator asks you to keep.

Supervision, provable
06 · Aligned

Built To The Rules

Aligned to Law Society of Alberta guidance, the Federation of Law Societies posture and PIPA / PIPEDA — with retainer-disclosure and AI-use policy templates in the box.

Canadian by design

Citadel supports your professional obligations; it does not replace your judgement, your regulator's requirements, or your own review of its output. Trust accounting is a subsidiary ledger and reconciliation record — your trust bank account and a lawyer's review remain your own.

05 // What You're Actually Buying

More Capacity.
More Clients.
More Revenue.

Strip it down and Citadel sells one thing: growth you don't have to hire for. The hours it hands back become billable hours; those hours become matters you couldn't take before. And it shows you the proof on your own dashboard — queries run, adoption by group, hours saved — all computed on the appliance, for your eyes only.

01 · Capacity

Do More, Add No One

Take on more matters with the team you already have — the grunt work that capped your week runs first-pass in seconds.

02 · Clients

Say Yes More Often

The work you'd have had to turn away for lack of hours becomes work you can actually take on.

03 · Revenue

Bill The Hours Back

Revenue that comes from recovered billable hours, not from adding headcount or overhead.

Not a cost centre. A capacity multiplier.

06 // Honest About The Edges

What Citadel Is — And Isn't.

On-premises is a deliberate set of trade-offs. Here's the straight version, so there are no surprises after you put it to work.

What It Is

  • A private legal-AI appliance for your firm
  • Title-search, review, drafting, research & e-discovery
  • Practice management, billing & a trust ledger
  • Deterministic deadline & support math
  • Built to Canadian Law Society duties

How It Deploys

  • Runs on a single, single-tenant appliance
  • Inside your firewall — data never leaves
  • Local AI models, no cloud GPU
  • Runs offline indefinitely — source in escrow
  • Signed updates; backups on your hardware

What It Isn't

  • Not a cloud or SaaS tool — by design
  • Not a tool that invents case law
  • Not legal advice — assistance for lawyers
  • Not a substitute for a lawyer's judgement
  • Not magic — it needs an appliance to run
