Drop in the case bundle. Get a cited chronology back.
One workspace over a case's documents, with three ways into it: a dated chronology, a map of every party, and answers cited to the page they came from.
A new case arrives as four hundred pages, and the first real question is simply: what happened, and when?
Building that timeline is a junior's week — reading everything, noting every date, and discovering on the Thursday that two documents give different dates for the same event. Then the file is passed on, and whoever inherits it starts by asking the same question again.
Four hundred pages, one timeline.
- 01
Put the documents in one place
Contracts, notices, filings, judgments, correspondence — the case bundle as it actually arrives. CasEngine indexes them once, and everything below reads from that same set: the timeline, the map of parties and the answers are three views of one body of documents, not three tools you feed separately.
- 02
The timeline builds itself, with citations
Every date the documents contain becomes an event carrying its file and page number. Where the same fact appears in five documents it is one event listing all five sources, not five entries. Each event gets a plain sentence explaining its significance, so a lawyer can read the timeline without opening the file behind it.
- 03
Contradictions are surfaced, not smoothed over
When two documents disagree about the date of the same event, the timeline says so and groups the conflicting entries together. That disagreement is usually the most interesting thing in the bundle, and it is exactly what a summary would have hidden.
- 04
The lawyer corrects the machine, and the correction survives
OCR misreads a judgment date; you fix it in place. The citation stays attached, the original value is kept so the record shows what it was corrected from, and the next rebuild will not overwrite you. Events you consider irrelevant are hidden rather than deleted, and facts no document carries can be added by hand.
- 05
Then ask it questions
Answers are drawn only from the case's own documents, with every sentence carrying a citation — and any sentence that cannot be cited is removed before you see it. Where the bundle does not contain the answer, it says so rather than reaching for something plausible.
The same thing, on screen.
A case bundle becoming a dated timeline, each event cited to its source page.
What changes for the firm.
- A week of reading becomes an afternoon of checking.
- Every date on the timeline points at the page it came from.
- Two documents disagreeing about a date is a flag, not a discovery.
- A correction made once is not undone by the next rebuild.
- Ask a question in Arabic and get an answer from English documents.
- The lawyer who inherits the file inherits the timeline with it.
Everything included, in one place.
Cited to file and page
Each event names the documents it came from and the page within them, so the timeline is a route back into the bundle rather than a summary you have to take on trust.
Conflict detection
Events whose sources disagree on the date of the same fact are grouped and flagged. Contradictions in the record are surfaced deliberately, because the whole value of reading the bundle is finding them.
Key events, separated from noise
Legally significant dates are distinguished from incidental ones — a date of birth or a passport expiry is not a case event — so the default view is the case rather than every date in the paperwork.
Corrections that survive a rebuild
An event edited by a lawyer is marked as such and retains the original extracted value, so re-running the analysis over newly added documents never quietly reverses a human decision.
Grounded answers only
Every sentence in an answer carries a citation, and uncited text is stripped before it is returned. Where the documents do not support an answer, none is given — the empty result is the honest one.
The parties, mapped
An entity graph rolls up every party the documents mention — companies, individuals and authorities — merging the same company written five ways and telling you when the roster is incomplete rather than presenting a partial list as the whole.
Common questions about this feature.
Yes, and the correction is permanent. Edit a date, title or description in place and the event keeps its citation, records what it was corrected from, and is protected from being overwritten when the analysis is re-run over new documents. Events you consider irrelevant are hidden rather than deleted, so nothing disappears from the record.
The timeline flags it. Events whose sources disagree about the date of the same fact are grouped and marked as conflicting rather than being resolved silently in favour of one document. A tool that quietly picks a winner is more dangerous than one that does not run.
No — and this is enforced rather than requested. Answers are drawn only from the case's own documents, every sentence must carry a citation, and any sentence that cannot be cited is removed before the answer is returned. Where the bundle does not contain the answer, you get an explicit empty result.
Yes. The answer comes back in the language of the question even when the source documents are in the other, which is the normal situation on a Gulf matter where the contract is in English and the filings are in Arabic. Dates sort on the Gregorian calendar and display in Hijri where that is the reader's preference.
Yes, optionally. The timeline is document-driven by default; merging the structured case record — hearings, judgments, the appeal window, payments — is a deliberate choice, so a document chronology and a case chronology stay distinguishable rather than being silently blended.
On use, from a prepaid balance, and separately from the subscription. Bringing a document in is charged once, when it is first read and indexed, however often it is opened or queried afterwards; searching your own documents is not charged at all. Every operation is itemised in a ledger the firm can open, and the balance cannot be overrun — at zero the feature stops rather than spending. New accounts start with $50 of credit, for a limited time.
Works with the rest of the platform.
