How it works
The full process, step by step
Tell your side, they respond, an AI mediator suggests a fair fix, and if you can't agree, three AI judges decide who is right and what the remedy is.
Standard Case
Everyday disagreements: a few sentences, optional evidence, faster deadlines.
About 10 minutes to file. Response window: 2 business days. Usually decided in about 3 to 5 calendar days.
Formal Verdict
A complete record: formal complaint, answer, rebuttal, evidence exhibits, and a full written decision.
About 30 to 45 minutes to file. Response window: 5 business days. Usually decided in 1 to 3 weeks.
1. File your complaint
You write your side of the dispute, attach evidence, and name the other party. We generate a case number and serve the defendant by email.
2. Email service
The defendant receives a secure link to review the complaint and file a response. No account is required to respond. You can also text them the link from your own phone as a reminder; email stays the official notice and starts the response clock.
3. Time to respond
The defendant has 2 business days on a Standard Case, or 5 on a Formal Verdict, from service to submit their side. A reminder is sent before the deadline.
4. Default if no response
If the defendant does not respond, a default is entered, but the panel still reviews the evidence on file before ruling.
5. Plaintiff rebuttal
If the defendant does respond, the plaintiff has a 2-hour window to rebut anything new the defendant raised. The defendant does not get a rebuttal.
6. An AI mediator suggests a fair fix
A neutral AI mediator, from a family not on the judge panel, suggests up to three ways to settle. Each option spells out who does what, by when, and how it is shown. You both have 48 hours on a Formal Verdict (24 on a Standard Case) to accept, suggest one tweak, or skip. If you both accept the same option, the case is resolved by agreement and no verdict is issued. The mediator may share a family with an advocate. Mediation is confidential: the judges never see it.
7. If you can’t agree, three AI judges decide
Three AI judges, drawn from five model families (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and Mistral), decide who is right and what the remedy is. The remedy can include money owed (never more than the amount claimed), return or repair, finishing or redoing work, an apology, or a change going forward. No judge that served as an advocate can also judge the same case.
8. Majority rules, remedy included
At least two of three judges must agree on who is right. Money awarded is the median of the majority, and a non-money item is ordered only if at least two judges included it.
9. Verdict delivery
The advisory verdict is delivered to both parties with the remedy, deadlines, how completion is shown, the full reasoning, judge votes, and any red flags identified. Optional friendly stakes, if you both agreed to them, are applied on top.
10. Publication
The verdict is published in the public archive 24 hours after issue. If flagged for review, publication is held for five days.
11. Thirty-day appeal
Either party may appeal within 30 days. An appeal is decided by a new panel with a different mix of judges. When possible it uses different AI families than the first panel; otherwise it uses different models from those families. The same independence rule applies: no advocate family is seated as a judge.
12. Right of reply
Either party may submit a short reply statement (up to 300 words) that appears under the published verdict, labeled with their role.
13. Removal requests
A party or affected person can request removal of a published verdict for mistakes, privacy, or safety concerns. Requests are reviewed by an admin.
