The triage bench

A triage bench for the people already allowed to help.

Legal-aid staff, DOJ-accredited representatives, enrolled agents, benefits navigators — the credentialed helpers who are legally permitted to advise are also chronically drowning. Caseload turns an intake stack into a worked queue: cited rules, deadline arithmetic with the verbatim anchor shown, a document checklist, a draft next action. One helper reviews instead of researches.

No attested credential, no output at all. The gate is not onboarding UX — it is the product's legal basis, and it fails closed.

It does more — because its user is allowed to do more

Caseload computes deadlines and drafts next actions precisely because its user is credentialed. The allowed-credential list — attorney, DOJ-accredited representative, enrolled agent, benefits navigator, supervised legal-aid staff — grows only by a legal decision, never a code change. That same gate closes the notario problem: the bench is useless to an unauthorized practitioner.

Cited rules, never recalled ones

Every rule the bench applies lives in a cited, dated corpus — FDCPA validation, SNAP fair hearings, SSA reconsideration, CARES-Act eviction notice, USCIS motions. The model is never the source of a rule.

Arithmetic that shows its anchor

A deadline is computed only from a verbatim anchor date in the case record — shown next to the result, with an instruction to verify against the paper. No date in the record? dateNotPrinted, never a guess.

Drafts addressed to the reviewer

Every draft next action carries audience: reviewer and status: DRAFT. The credentialed human decides what happens next — the bench never acts on a case.

A client door with walls

Client-facing text passes only through a release door that blocks verdicts — no "you qualify," no "you'll win" — and no date traceable to nothing.

What "does more" looks like — and its leash

Who the bench is for

Legal aid offices

The sector turns away roughly half of the people who ask for help. A worked queue multiplies what each staff hour covers — and a funded deployment at a legal-aid office is the product working as intended.

Accredited-representative & navigator programs

DOJ-accredited representatives, enrolled agents, and benefits navigators get the same bench: cited rules, anchored arithmetic, and a supervising-attorney route for everything outside the corpus.

Honest status, in writing

The working core is machine-verified by a 46-assertion self-check. What isn't verified yet is labeled and gated.

Before this triages a real caseload

  • The rule corpus ships labeled SAMPLE until every rule is re-verified against its cited primary source and the deployment state's analogs are added.
  • Reviewer credentials go live only against real rosters — state bar, DOJ EOIR list, IRS EA directory — never self-attested.
  • If a model-assisted intake step is ever added, it ships disabled behind a two-key no-training gate: client facts are never training data.

Licensing, plainly

Per-seat and per-office licensing to firms, legal-aid funders, and navigator programs — capacity pricing, never a share of any fee, never a different answer for a bigger check.
