MeshLine™ Engine

Live in Arbiter

Context Architecture

Arbiter doesn't just read text linearly. It parses documents into a semantic anchor graph, enabling unprecedented context understanding across massive document sets.

01

Persistent Definitions

Changes to a defined term ripple instantly through the entire logic graph.

02

Infinite Context Window

No token limits. Upload entire data rooms. Ask questions across 500 separate files.

03

Verifiable Grounding

Every output is strictly anchored to your documents and real-time case law.

GitLaw

Live in Arbiter

Legal Intelligence Infrastructure

The foundational infrastructure powering Arbiter's legal intelligence. GitLaw is our proprietary system that delivers accurate, verifiable, and jurisdiction-aware legal analysis.

Consensus Protocol

Verification Layer

Deterministic validation. Cross-checks every AI generation against ground-truth sources to ensure 0% hallucinations.

Firm Intelligence

Private Law Libraries

Ingests your internal precedent and playbooks. Adapts to your firm's specific drafting style and preferred clauses.

Semantic Core

Universal RAG Vector DB

Language-agnostic embedding space. Maps legal concepts across languages (e.g., matching English 'Force Majeure' to German 'Höhere Gewalt').

Sandboxed Execution

MCP Secure Servers

Isolated runtime environments for secure tool execution. Prevents data leakage while enabling powerful API integrations.

Ground Truth

Global Source APIs

Real-time connectors to 50+ jurisdictions (PACER, HUDOC, etc.). Makes Arbiter jurisdiction-agnostic by fetching live statutes.

High Table

On Hold

Vetted Counsel Network

A curated network of elite law firms for complex, high-stakes cases. High Table was designed to connect clients with vetted legal expertise through a transparent bidding process. Currently paused while we scale Arbiter.

How It Worked

  • Complex cases submitted through Bono for expert review
  • Vetted law firms from the network submit competitive bids
  • Transparent selection based on expertise, strategy, and pricing
  • AI-powered case management and progress tracking

Why We Paused

High Table requires significant operational infrastructure and legal partnerships. We're focusing resources on Arbiter to build a stronger foundation first.

Future Plans: Once Arbiter reaches scale, High Table will return as a premium service for enterprise clients and complex litigation.

CrowdSue™

On Hold

Community-Powered Collective Action

Our groundbreaking platform for collective legal action. CrowdSue was designed to address cases too large or expensive for individuals alone, combining community funding, governance, and AI support.

Web3 & Decentralized Infrastructure

Early explorations into blockchain-based legal infrastructure. These experiments informed our approach to transparency and verification, though we've since focused on more immediate real-world applications.

Smart Contract Templates

Self-executing legal agreements with automated enforcement and dispute resolution triggers.

$BONO Token

Governance and utility token for platform participation, voting, and incentive alignment.

Decentralized Storage

IPFS-based document storage for immutable, censorship-resistant legal records.

Wallet Verification

On-chain identity verification for secure, pseudonymous participation in legal processes.

Transparent Escrow

Blockchain-powered escrow for legal fees with automated release conditions.

Multi-Plaintiff Coordination

DAO-style governance for coordinating large-scale collective action cases.
