Outcome-first legal UX for citizens + advocates

Run a quick check
Tuned for Citizens · Plain-English, 8th-grade reading level

Know the next legal move without decoding a 60-page memo.

Roderick Henry Sutherland would call this "making the cure feel shorter than the illness." Rory would say we translated lawyer-speak into choices a motivated citizen—or sharp law student—can act on right away.

Outcome-first

Start with "What do you want to get done?" not "Which statute applies?"

Layered detail

See the plain-English take, then peel back to sources and citations when you need them.

Next step ready

Every answer ends with a doable action, deadline, or who to call.

  2. Step 2 of 52 min

    Upload or snap the notice

    Phone camera is fine; we enhance and OCR everything.

    Why we ask

    Documents confirm timelines and trigger the right deadline reminders.

  3. Step 3 of 530 sec

    Pick your approach

    Choose Fastest, Safer, or Human depending on your appetite.

    Why we ask

    Review the traffic-light analysis

    See aligned articles, risks, and "if you do nothing" outcomes.

    Why we ask

    We keep confidence transparent so you can escalate early if needed.

  5. Step 5 of 590 sec

    Send or schedule the action

    Download the letter, set reminders, or book a human consult.

Focus: Challenge a charge

If the risk light flips to Amber or Red, escalate to a lawyer or advocate immediately.

Quick Check Alignment
Upload a bill to analyze its constitutional alignment, debate points, and risk balance.

What you need

  1. PDF or camera photo of the bill/act (we OCR automatically).
  2. Jurisdiction so we pull the right constitution.
  3. Optional "as-of" date to lock the rulebook in time.

Max file size: 4MB. Phone camera scans are fine.

Choice architecture

We'll offer three paths after analysis:

  • Fastest – send the default letter now.
  • Safer – add more proof for higher confidence.
  • Talk to a person – warm handoff to a lawyer or advocate.
