A second brain for the firm — matter knowledge that doesn't walk out the door.
Pensiv connects the dots across courts and decades, ranks precedent by weight, and shows its work. It flags conflicts and keeps a full audit trail. The judgment a senior partner built stays with the firm.
Built for litigation partners, associates, legal-operations leads, and discovery teams.

Two ways matter knowledge gets lost
When the lesson lives in one head — or one practice group
01Silent mentorship
The motion that won the same fight last year
The senior partner who beat this exact motion to dismiss three years ago has left the firm. The associate now drafting the response has no idea the playbook ever existed.
The associate asks Pensiv. The winning brief, the other side's tactics, and the judge's reasoning all come back — with the partner's notes intact.
Securities calls it "control person liability." Employment calls it "respondeat superior." Antitrust calls it "horizontal coordination." The same pattern between parties, three sets of words, rarely linked.
Pensiv finds similar cases no matter the practice area. It surfaces precedent across your firm's walled-off knowledge, not just your own group's.

Compliance
Each matter kept apart. Aware of ABA Opinion 477R — the bar's AI confidentiality guidance. An FRCP 26 write trail nothing can quietly change — that's the U.S. court rule for discovery. A source trail on every result. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 in progress.
The facts on the surface differ. The deep structure matches. A contract dispute, an employment case, a securities case — all can share the same pattern between parties, duties, and breaches. Pensiv matches by shape, not by words.
A defensible reasoning trail, not just a citation list
When the other side — or a sanctions motion — asks how the brief reached its conclusion, the trail walks back. From the final argument, to the precedents behind it, to the search that found them, to the original matter documents. The audit trail isn't bolted on. It's how the system is built. The harder a position has to defend itself, the more that matters.
"Which argument patterns have won in this circuit on similar facts?"
What Pensiv returns4 similar cases (2019-2024, 2nd Circuit). Winning path: show duty, then breach, then cause, then damages — with weight on what was foreseeable. Judge Katzmann wrote 3 of the 4 opinions. The other side stalled with delay tactics in 2 of 4, and lost both.
Compliance & safeguards
Built for the duties of legal practice
Attorney-client privilege
Each matter is kept apart, and each action ties back to a user. Privileged notes stay inside their matter, with no bleed into another.
ABA Opinion 477R
ABA Opinion 477R is the bar's AI confidentiality guidance. Supervisors can see every read, every result, and every draft the AI touched.
eDiscovery readiness
eDiscovery is the duty to produce digital records in a lawsuit. We meet FRCP 26, the U.S. court rule for it. The write trail can't be quietly changed, and every result cites its source.
SOC 2 / ISO 27001
These are common security audits. There's an option to run on your own computers for matters under a protective or attorney-eyes-only order.
