BenchPath

The Intelligence Engine

15 proprietary skills. One verified corpus. Zero black boxes.

Judicial-analytics vendors infer how judges think from opinions covering ~3% of rulings. BenchPath runs 15 analytical skills on data they don't hold: 1,217 verified Florida judicial officers, their published procedures, deadline chains, chambers protocols, and a growing rulings corpus — with every output citing its source and every synthesis passing human review before it publishes.

Delivers: Appellate-context card.

14

● Live

Attorney Ground-Truth Intake

The 97% capture channel — structured, verified, credited.

Accepts structured attorney reports of unwritten rulings (motion, outcome, date, case no.), verifies through the review queue, and feeds the pattern synthesizer — the dataset competitors call proprietary, built in the open.

Runs on: ruling_reports submissions + reviewer verification.

Delivers: Verified ground-truth entries in the rulings corpus.

Why this beats inference-only analytics

The corpus is verifiable. Every judge, requirement, deadline, and ruling links to an official source with a last-verified date — click any claim in any report.

The 97% is captured in the open. Structured attorney ruling-reports are verified through a public review queue, not a proprietary black box you can't audit.

Synthesis is review-gated. Tendency insights publish only with methodology, support count, and sources attached — and a human sign-off. No hallucinated judicial psychology, ever.
