Factsway is a legal document intelligence platform built for attorneys who handle matters where a single privilege breach can end a case. Your files stay on your hardware. Every assertion in every output traces back to its source. No cloud storage. No hallucinations in the final draft.
Cloud platforms and generative AI have created risks the profession cannot accept.
Stanford researchers found that leading legal AI products — Lexis+ AI, Westlaw AI, and Ask Practical Law AI — still produced hallucinated or incorrect outputs between 17% and 34% of queries, even after providers claimed RAG had solved the problem.
The Charlotin database tracks over 1,200 global decisions involving AI-fabricated citations, with roughly 800 from U.S. courts. Sanctions are climbing: a single March 2026 appellate order imposed $15,000 per attorney plus full fee shifting.
More than 300 federal & state judges have adopted standing orders or local rules requiring disclosure, certification, or verification of AI use in filings. Firms now need tools whose outputs can be defended on the record, sentence by sentence.
The same Factsway engine powers both editions. The difference is where it runs and what level of isolation the matter demands.
The full Factsway platform, installed and running locally on your firm's own machines. No data is uploaded. No company servers are touched. You get sentence-level evidence tracking, contradiction detection across the full case record, and court-ready drafting — all executing under your firm's control.
A complete Factsway system delivered as a sealed, air-gapped workstation. A hardened laptop in a lockable tactical case, paired with a client-owned encrypted SSD that never leaves the client's possession. The machine works offline. There is no network attack surface. There is no third party to subpoena.
Factsway is organized around the work an attorney actually does: reading filings, tracking facts, finding contradictions, drafting briefs, and getting them out the door.
Every filing you receive is parsed at the sentence level. Each assertion is classified by legal function and tied to a provenance chain — source document, page, and line. Nothing gets lost in a PDF pile.
Every fact carries a status: verified, asserted, extracted, or disproven. Who said it. Where they said it. What contradicts it. Your working view of the record is always current, always sourced, always yours to interrogate.
Contradiction detection across depositions, pleadings, and exhibits. Every conflicting assertion is flagged with attribution on both sides. You see the contradiction in context, not buried in a transcript you would have to read twice.
Templates for any jurisdiction. Court rules enforced as system behavior, not as a last-minute manual check. Arguments link directly to the facts and exhibits that support them, so nothing falls out of sync as the draft evolves.
Client files stay local. Nothing uploads to a shared server. No third party holds your evidence because there is no third party. The architecture removes the risk rather than trying to manage it.
Same input, same output. The Factsway engine is deterministic at its core, so your drafts are reproducible across sessions. The PDF you produce today will be the PDF you reproduce six months from now if you need it.
Factsway follows the shape of your actual practice. Load your matter. Track the facts. Find the contradictions. File the brief. Every step preserves the integrity of the record.
Load pleadings, depositions, and exhibits. The platform extracts and classifies every sentence, preserving formatting and tying every claim to its source.
The fact database builds as you work. Every assertion carries a status, a source, and any conflicts. Templates capture court rules as reusable patterns.
Write in a structure-aware environment. Headings renumber automatically. Arguments link to facts and exhibits by reference. The record stays consistent as the draft changes.
Output is rendered as a court-ready PDF with rule compliance validated before release. Every sentence traces to a source the attorney already verified.
"The hallucination problem isn't solved by better AI. It's solved by an architecture that doesn't let AI write the final word."
Factsway was built because nothing on the market met the bar for handling a real matter under real adversarial conditions. The founders lived the problem before they built the product.
Dan spent 25 years running high-security hardware rental operations for Sony, Netflix, Universal, Apple, and the most demanding platforms in content production. He managed chain-of-custody protocols for content worth hundreds of millions of dollars, under NDA and under audit.
That same operational discipline — secure hardware logistics, client relationship management, and protocol design — now backs every Factsway deployment.
Alex built Factsway because he needed it. He was managing a complex legal matter and nothing on the market met the bar for evidence tracking, brief drafting, and contradiction detection. He built the engine, used it in court, and proved it worked.
The product was validated in live production under adversarial conditions. Every design decision in the platform traces back to a problem an attorney actually faces.
Those platforms are cloud-based. Your client data flows to servers operated by a third party, indexed there, and processed there. That works for most matters. It does not work when a single privilege breach can end a case, because a valid court order can compel any cloud provider to produce your data. Factsway runs locally. There is no third party to compel. The evidence lives on your hardware, or in the Air-Gapped edition, on a client-owned drive that never leaves the client.
No. Factsway does not receive, store, or access your client files at any point. Documents are ingested and processed on your own machines. Nothing uploads to our servers because we do not operate servers in the document path.
In Factsway, AI never produces the final output. It offers suggestions — extraction hints, draft edits, ingestion support — which the attorney reviews before anything touches a document or the fact record. The deterministic core of the platform works with AI turned off entirely. AI accelerates your work; it does not replace your judgment.
Yes. The template system stores court formatting rules as reusable patterns — margins, typeface, caption layout, heading style — rather than as static text. You can configure templates for any court you practice in and apply them across matters without rebuilding from scratch.
Your files are yours. They live on your hardware or your client-owned drive. There is no vendor-controlled database to migrate away from. The Air-Gapped edition's SSD is physically handed back to the client; the Professional edition's files remain on your firm's storage exactly where they were.
For most litigation practices, Factsway Professional is the starting point — the full platform running on your own machines, with privilege protection built into the architecture. The Air-Gapped edition is the right choice when you handle matters where even your own firm's network represents an unacceptable exposure: IP disputes with foreign discovery concerns, trade secret defense, government investigations, sensitive M&A. We can walk you through the decision on a call.
We run live demonstrations on real filings — your filings, if you prefer. Thirty minutes. No slides. You see the platform do the work, and you decide whether it belongs in your practice.
