FAQ

Questions, answered.

How the intake works, what the lawyer receives, what happens to client data, and what pricing covers. Pick your view below.

What is PROVEAiBLE?

PROVEAiBLE is AI client intake for law firms — it works whether or not the client has a document to upload. Clients with documents get redaction-first analysis. Clients with nothing to upload still produce a structured matter file from the conversation alone — classification, parties, timeline, gaps, and what to bring to the first meeting. Either way, the lawyer gets a usable handoff before the first call.

What does the lawyer actually receive?

A structured matter file — not a chat dump. It contains the redacted document, key facts with sources, a constructed timeline, flagged inconsistencies, missing evidence, and timing concerns. Every claim points back to where it came from — so your lawyer can start from an organised file instead of a blank page.

How is this different from a chatbot or intake form?

Forms collect whatever the client types. Generic chatbots produce long transcripts. PROVEAiBLE starts with the issue, requests the key document if relevant, identifies what is missing, and prepares a handoff your team can act on. When there's nothing to upload, the conversation alone produces the same structured matter file.

Who is it for?

It's for law firms that want better-prepared first calls, less time chasing documents, and a cleaner way to review new matters before replying.

Do founding members shape what we build next?

Yes — that's part of what the founder rate buys. About 2–3 weeks after you go live, we book a 30-minute founders' shaping call: what's missing, what would you add, what's broken. Round 1 firms have direct input into the next features (practice-area routing, CRM integrations, additional jurisdictions, additional languages). The founder rate is locked for life partly because you're co-creating the product with us.

What if my client doesn't have documents to upload yet?

Many real intakes start as pure conversation — the client just got fired this morning, the accident was yesterday, the deportation notice was verbal. PROVEAiBLE handles this. Without any upload, the conversation alone produces the same structured handoff: classification, parties, timeline, client goal, procedural posture, plus a clear list of what the client should bring to the first meeting. Documents enrich the file but aren't required.

Does the AI provide legal analysis?

No — that's deliberate. PROVEAiBLE gathers facts, redacts identifying details, extracts what your client said, and surfaces timing risks from the documents themselves (long gaps, fast-approaching dates, unusual delays). It does not verify statutes against an authoritative law library, run procedural-compliance checks, or produce legal opinions. Legal analysis is your lawyer's job — we hand you a clean, organised file so the lawyer's analysis can start immediately.

How does the intake decide what to ask for?

It follows a simple sequence: understand the issue, request key documents if relevant, review what's been provided (verbal account or upload), identify what is missing, and ask only the next questions that matter.

Can it work across different practice areas?

Yes. At launch the system is calibrated for the most common matter types — employment, family, personal injury, immigration — and we tailor the document requests, follow-up questions, and handoff structure to your firm's specific practice areas during setup.

Can completed intakes go to a central inbox or the right lawyer?

Centralised inbox delivery is available — every completed matter lands in your firm's intake address. Practice-area routing (a different lawyer per matter type) ships as a no-charge upgrade for founding members.

Does it work with email and Google Drive?

Yes. The system is designed to deliver case files where lawyers already work, especially email and Google Drive. The goal is to avoid giving your team another dashboard to manage.

What happens if the client stops halfway through?

Sessions persist on the backend so the client can resume via their original session link. Your firm only receives the structured handoff once the intake reaches a useful, review-ready stage. Incomplete sessions are purged after 90 days.

What does the AI do if a client uploads a document it can't read?

PDFs (native and scanned), JPEGs, PNGs, and DOCX files all work end-to-end. Image-only documents with no extractable text get flagged — the client is asked to retake or upload a different version. Audio and video transcription aren't yet supported (rolling out via Whisper integration in a later phase).

What if the AI gets a fact wrong in the handoff?

The handoff is meant to be read, not blindly trusted. Every fact carries a source basis tag (verified by document, claimed by party, expert assessment, etc.) so you can quickly see what's grounded vs what's claimed. Lawyer review before billing is the safety net — the system surfaces facts; you decide what to act on. We tune the AI's skill prompts based on real handoffs you flag.

Can we customise the AI's question prompts per practice area?

Yes. The system has built-in prompt scaffolds for seven matter types — criminal, family, employment, personal injury, immigration, housing, contract. Per-firm tuning is done by us during setup (we configure your firm's matter types, question sets and redaction directly). Ask any time and we adjust.

What's the file size or page limit for client uploads?

Soft cap of ~50MB per upload. No hard page-count limit, but only the first ~12,000 words of any single document are sent to the analysis model — long documents get truncated for analysis, with the full original preserved in the handoff package.

Can we restrict which file types clients can upload?

Today the widget accepts PDF, JPEG, PNG, and DOCX. Per-firm restriction (e.g. "PDF only") isn't exposed as a config flag yet — it's part of the admin UI rolling out shortly. If you need a specific restriction at install, we can wire it manually in your firm's config.

Do you store client case files long-term?

No. Client data is processed to build the case file, then delivered to your firm. Completed intakes are deleted on delivery; incomplete sessions are purged after 90 days. PROVEAiBLE does not operate as a long-term system of record for ongoing case files.

Can redaction happen before the case-analysis model sees the document?

Yes — and that's the central design choice. The client's identifying details are redacted first, and the client reviews what's hidden. Only the protected version is ever sent to the case-analysis model. Names, addresses, phone numbers, identifiers — whatever the client chooses to hide — never reach the case-analysis model. That answers the number-one objection cautious lawyers raise about AI: "I can't send client data to an LLM." With PROVEAiBLE, you're not — the model only sees the version your client approved. (See the next question for the OCR-stage detail — we're transparent about it.)

What about OCR? Doesn't Google Cloud Vision see the document first?

Honest answer: yes, the OCR layer does process the raw document text. We use Google Cloud Vision API for text extraction (industry-standard, GDPR data-processor agreement, used by major financial and healthcare institutions). That's a separate layer from the AI that performs the case analysis.

Two AI layers, two privacy boundaries:
1. OCR (Google Cloud Vision): extracts text from images. An industry-standard utility, not a reasoning model. Subject to standard data-processor agreements.
2. The case-analysis model: only ever sees the privacy-redacted version. Names, addresses and identifiers replaced with role tags (CLIENT, OTHER_PARTY, WITNESS) before it reads a word.

The redaction happens between layer 1 and layer 2, before the case-analysis model reads anything. We're explicit about this distinction so you can answer your bar association honestly: no client identifier ever reaches the case-analysis model. The OCR layer is the same kind of infrastructure your firm probably already trusts when scanning court filings.

How accurate is the redaction? What if the client misses a name?

Redaction is keyed off the names and terms the client lists in the redaction step — those are removed at OCR-word-level with substring matching, so "Maria", "Silva", and "Maria Silva" all get blacked out together. If the client doesn't list a name, mentions of it in the document text will pass through. The lawyer view shows the redacted PDF plus a count of redaction terms applied, so you can see exactly what was hidden. Auto-detection of unlisted PII is rolling out as an additional safety layer.

What data is processed during intake?

The intake processes the client's messages, uploaded documents, extracted text, and the structured case state needed to request documents, ask follow-up questions, and prepare the handoff.

Is PROVEAiBLE the system of record for the case?

No. PROVEAiBLE is a processing and delivery layer for intake, not a case-management database. The case file is prepared and handed off to the firm for review and ongoing work.

What does the monthly fee cover?

It covers the intake system, workflow tailoring, support, maintenance, and keeping your firm's installation running.

Are AI costs included?

No. AI usage is separate. Your firm connects its own AI key, and usage is billed directly by your provider. The PROVEAiBLE monthly fee does not include model usage charges.

How does BYOK work in practice?

Your firm provides an API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter. You set up the account once during install — it takes about ten minutes. Token usage is billed directly by your provider on your existing card, never through us. OpenRouter is the cheaper option if you want to economise on flagship-model costs while still getting solid quality on most matters.

Is pricing locked once we join?

You stay on the rate you join at as long as you remain an active customer — we don't raise pricing on existing firms. Your plan is scoped to your firm at setup, with no per-lawyer multiplier.

How much will AI tokens cost per intake?

Token cost depends on document length and which provider you use. A typical single-document intake — say a 5-page termination letter and three follow-up questions — runs roughly $0.10–$0.80 with Anthropic Claude Sonnet, or $0.02–$0.10 with OpenRouter's cheaper models (Gemini Flash, Haiku-class). A heavy multi-document matter — several uploads plus a full case file — can reach around $1. Larger documents scale proportionally. Spend is visible in your provider's own dashboard — never marked up by us.

Can I cap how much we spend on tokens per month?

Yes — you set spending limits directly in your Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter account. Most providers let you set a hard monthly cap or alert thresholds. Because the key is yours, the controls are yours. We don't sit between your firm and your token spend.

What languages does PROVEAiBLE support?

The AI converses in 60+ languages. Your client tells their story in their own language, and your firm opens the finished case file in your language. The widget interface itself is fully localised in 13 languages. If you work in a particular language pair regularly, tell us during setup so we can tune the intake and handoff for it.

Can a non-English-speaking client send me a handoff in English?

Yes. Your client can tell their story in their own language, and your practitioner opens the finished case file in English — the account, the documents they hold, and the deadline that matters. This is exactly what the immigration and asylum intake is built for.

What languages does the OCR handle for non-English documents?

The OCR layer (Google Cloud Vision) supports a wide range of languages for text extraction, and the AI converses in 60+ languages on top of it. If you regularly handle documents in a specific language, flag it during setup so we can confirm extraction quality and tune the handoff with you.

Does the widget work alongside our existing case-management software (Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther)?

The handoff is delivered as an email + structured PDF + ZIP. Most CRMs (Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, etc.) support email-to-case forwarding rules, so the matter file lands in the right case automatically. Direct API integrations are on the roadmap but not yet built — if you need deep CRM integration on day one, talk to us before signing so we can be honest about what's possible.

Can we white-label the email handoff with our own branding?

Yes. The email subject template, the PDF cover page, and the handoff email header are all swappable per firm — we configure these manually during onboarding. A small "Generated by PROVEAiBLE" footer on the PDF stays as required attribution on the standard tier; that's removable on a future enterprise tier.

How do we cancel? What happens to existing intakes if we do?

Cancel any time — access continues to the end of the current paid period. Existing intake sessions stay live until the end of that period so any in-flight client finishes properly. Before the cutoff date you receive a complete export of every completed intake (PDF + JSON + ZIP). After cutoff the widget stops accepting new sessions; everything you've already exported is yours to keep. To cancel, email support and we handle the rest within one business day.

Does it work if the firm has no website?

Yes. Intake can be deployed as a hosted link, through an email signature, with a QR code, or through another direct contact path. A full website is not required.

How is the system installed?

We install it with you — tailoring the intake flow, document requests, routing and delivery to your workflow before launch.

What happens after we decide to move forward?

The next step is a founder-led walkthrough of your workflow, followed by setup, testing, and installation. Once the intake is calibrated for your firm, it goes live and starts delivering structured case files.

How do we show our DPO that the AI never saw client data?

Redaction runs server-side before the case-analysis model sees a word, so the model only ever receives the protected version — names replaced with role tags (CLIENT, OTHER_PARTY, ADDRESS, ID, PHONE). Your client confirms what's hidden, and each choice is recorded as a consent record (GDPR Article 7) during the intake. The redacted documents your team receives are themselves the evidence the model never saw identifying data — defensible by architecture, not by promise.

Does it surface contradictions in the client's story?

Yes. The AI cross-references the client's chat answers against the uploaded documents and flags inconsistencies in a dedicated "Disputed facts" + "Contradictions noted" block in the matter file. Example: the client says "performance-based termination" in chat; the termination letter cites "company restructure". You see the mismatch before you sign the retainer — when you can still decline, not after billing twenty hours.

Is every claim in the handoff traceable to a source?

Yes. The handoff reads like a junior associate prepared it — every fact-ledger entry shows the source document, page number, and line from the client's own materials. Traceable from minute one. No "trust the AI." If your team wants to verify a single claim, the source quote is right there in the brief; if you need the original document, it's attached.

Does it flag filing-window and timing risks?

Yes. The AI extracts every date in the client's uploads and flags suspicious patterns: long gaps, fast-approaching response windows, unusual delays, statute-of-limitations proximity. A 14-month gap between incident and witness statement, a 9-day filing window, a missing severance schedule — all surfaced in the matter file's "URGENT" banner or "Timing risks" section. Final verification stays with you; the AI surfaces, the lawyer judges.

Does it capture statutes the client's documents reference?

Only what the client's own documents contain — and only as unverified references. If a client uploads a document that mentions a statute, article, or case number, that reference is preserved in the file alongside the source quote and flagged for your verification. PROVEAiBLE does not run legal research, maintain a law library, or check any citation itself. Confirming what the law says, and whether it applies, stays your lawyer's job.

What is PROVEAiBLE Desktop?

PROVEAiBLE Desktop is case-preparation software for people facing a lawsuit, custody battle, eviction, or any legal matter. It organises your evidence, builds a timeline, flags contradictions, and produces a structured matter file you can walk into your first lawyer meeting with — so the meeting is about strategy, not data entry.

How does PROVEAiBLE Desktop work?

Install the desktop app, drop in your documents (PDFs, emails, screenshots, scans), and the AI reads through them on your computer. It builds a timeline, extracts key facts, finds contradictions, and lets you generate reports — case summaries, evidence indexes, lawyer handoffs. All processing runs locally or through your own AI provider account (Claude or GPT). Your documents never sit on our servers.

Does PROVEAiBLE provide legal advice?

No. PROVEAiBLE is case-preparation software — not a law firm. It helps you organise your matter and present it clearly. It doesn't tell you how the law applies to your situation, predict outcomes, or replace a qualified lawyer. Always consult a lawyer for legal advice.

How do I get started with the desktop app?

Pick a plan (BYOK €49/yr or Credits Included €99/yr — both founding-member rates locked for life), download the app for Mac or Windows, and run the setup wizard. About 15 minutes from sign-up to your first matter file.

What makes PROVEAiBLE different from other legal software?

Three things. On-device redaction — your PII never reaches AI providers in raw form. Desktop-native — your case files stay on your computer, not on someone's server. Built for the 99% — most legal tech sells to law firms; PROVEAiBLE also serves the people preparing their own cases who can't afford €300/hour.

Can I share my PROVEAiBLE workspace with my lawyer?

You can export polished reports — case summaries, evidence indexes, timelines, exhibit packages — as PDFs to share with your lawyer. The workspace itself stays local to your machine. Exports are what travels, not the raw data.

What types of evidence can I organise?

PDFs, Word docs, email exports (.eml, .msg), images and screenshots, scanned receipts, audio transcripts, court filings. The app handles OCR on scans automatically so you can search across everything as text.

Can I use PROVEAiBLE for multiple cases?

Yes. PROVEAiBLE Desktop supports unlimited cases on a single subscription. Most people run 1–3 active matters; some run 10+ across different legal areas (custody, employment, civil disputes, small-business matters). Archive cases you've closed, reopen them if they restart — no per-case fees.

Can I use it on multiple computers?

Your subscription covers one user — install on as many of your own machines as you like (laptop + desktop, for example). Case files live on the machine you're working from, or in a cloud folder you control (iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive) if you want them to sync.

Is PROVEAiBLE Desktop secure?

Yes. Documents stay on your computer — we don't store them. When the AI analyses content, PII (names, addresses, phone numbers, IDs) is redacted on-device before the case-analysis model sees the text. Your case data is yours; we never read it, sell it, or train on it.

What happens to my data?

Your documents stay on your computer in a local case folder. PROVEAiBLE never uploads them to our servers. When you use AI features, only the necessary text (PII-redacted) goes to your AI provider (Anthropic or OpenAI) for that analysis — and under BYOK you pay them directly, so we never even see the bill. If you cancel, your files stay where they are. Nothing for us to delete.

How much does PROVEAiBLE Desktop cost?

PROVEAiBLE Desktop: €99/year for founding members (locked for life). At public launch the price rises to €199/year — founders keep paying €99 forever. You bring your own Anthropic Claude or OpenAI / GPT key and pay the AI provider directly — we never mark up tokens. 14-day money-back, worldwide. No setup fee, no per-document charge.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes — 14-day money-back, no questions, on your first subscription period. EU customers are also covered by the standard 14-day cooling-off period under Distance Selling Regulation.

Do you offer a free trial?

Not currently. We offer 14-day money-back instead — sign up, install, use it on a real matter for two weeks. If it doesn't help, full refund. We picked this over a feature-limited trial so you can actually test the product, not a stripped-down version of it.

Do I need internet access?

For AI features, yes — Claude or OpenAI/GPT need internet to reach the model. Your documents stay on your computer; only the redacted text needed for each analysis call leaves. File organisation and viewing work offline.

What are the system requirements?

PROVEAiBLE Desktop runs on macOS (via the Mac App Store) and Windows (direct signed download — Microsoft Store coming later). Need ~500 MB free disk space, 8 GB RAM recommended, and an API key from Anthropic (Claude) or OpenAI (GPT) — or our Credits-Included plan if you'd rather skip that step.

Is PROVEAiBLE updated regularly?

Yes. The desktop app auto-updates (Mac App Store handles it on Mac; Windows checks at launch). New features ship as we build them — current pipeline includes Custom Reports, AI-drafted lawyer letters, and timeline video exports.

What if I need help?

Email support@proveaible.com — Andrew (the founder) responds personally. Help docs live inside the app under Help > Documentation. For non-urgent questions, the community forum at proveaible.com/community.
